How We Grade Legislation
Thousands of bills are filed every session. We read the text (not the talking points) and evaluate them based on Constitutional limits, family impact, and biblical values. Note bills will change as they move through the process, so will our recommendations. The status shown is based on the content of the bills as they are now. Check back often for updates!
