Generate legislator scorecards

I calculate ideology scores for all legislators based on all votes cast (view House scores or Senate scores ), but you can use this tool to generate score cards based on a smaller list of specific bills. How to use:

Enter bills to evaluate in the two boxes below, one bill per line.
Leading zeroes do not matter. HB1, HB01, HB001, and HB0001 are all the same.
This tool checks final floor votes (2nd and 3rd reading) only. It ignores committee, amendment, concurrence, or substitute votes.
Sub numbers are ignored. HB1s2 or 2HB1 will both be evaluated as HB1. This tool looks at all 2nd/3rd reading votes for the bill.
Only "yes" and "no" votes are counted. Absences are omitted from the analysis.

To see how this works, try one of these demos:

Sample 1: Scorecards for votes on these seven 2022GS bills to help the Great Salt Lake
Sample 2: Scorecards for vote on these eight 2022GS bills helping or hindering public education.

Bills you would have liked legislators to SUPPORT (separated with comma, semicolon, space, or newline), e.g. HB1, SJR3:

Bills you would have liked legislators to OPPOSE:

What year would you like to examine? General Sessions only.
