INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Chamber of Commerce has released its 39th annual report scoring legislators on how they voted on important business legislation in the recent General Assembly session.

The overall marks are slightly higher than last year, ranging from 44 to 93 percent.

“The Legislative Vote Analysis serves as an essential guide in keeping track of Hoosier legislators to ensure they are putting forth measures that will continue the positive economic trajectory of our state and keep us atop business rankings in the Midwest and beyond,” says Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar.

In total, the success or failure of 37 key pro-economy, pro-jobs policies that were introduced in bills or amendments – was used to determine lawmakers’ scores.

Among the legislation included in the new report: the state budget; tax relief for pass-through entities; state pension investments and environmental social governance matters; auto-enrollment in the 21st Century Scholars program; and mandatory completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid for high school students.

A list of local lawmakers’ scores can be seen below.
