How we calculate the "Score" for each bill we're tracking:
Bill Score =
total votes matching what voters want
total votes cast by the Representative on bills we are tracking
Where we get our data: open.pluralpolicy.com, a community project that pulls legislative data from the Federal and State House and Senate websites.
Official data: We track and report the votes reported by the legislature. Displayed votes are the most recent data available from the House and Senate websites through Open States.
Changed votes: Legislators are entitled to change their votes after bills pass or fail. Those changes may or may not be published by the state.
No votes: A gray circle indicates that the legislator did not vote on the latest motion for that bill. They may have been absent or otherwise unable to vote.

Chamber:
The bill presumes a surrendering parent's consent to terminate parental rights, without requiring express consent, except when child abuse or neglect is suspected or confirmed. The legislation instructs licensed child-placing agencies to immediately seek adoptive placements from a registry, and community-based care lead agencies must attempt inter-agency placements if no suitable home is found. Hospitals receiving surrendered newborns are directed to contact licensed child-placing agencies.
