What is a Family Focused Bill?
- A bill must relate to the principles of life, marriage, parental authority, constitutional government, or religious liberty.
- A bill must substantially benefit, or harm, the families in Virginia.
- Only family-focused bills are included in this report.
- In this report, wherever possible, the most recent or final vote on a piece of legislation was used.
- Bill co-patrons were also scored for bills that only received committee votes.
What is the Pro-Family Score?
The pro-family score is an easy to compare number that represents the percentage of votes a legislator voted pro-family on family focused bills.
The score is determined by dividing the
number of pro-family votes a legislator
cast, by the total number of family focused votes the legislator took in 2018-2019, and multiplying the result by 100.
