Legislative Scorecard

The Prosperity Legislative Scorecard, formerly RIED, will allow the business community and public to understand how each legislator and collectively the legislature vote on bills that are either pro-growth or anti-growth. The State Chamber Research Foundation acquired the score card in 2022. We are proud to keep the legacy of RIED alive. In 24 years, Oklahoma’s business, jobs and economic growth has increased by 18 percent – proving holding legislators accountable for the votes taken works.

What is new?

Starting with the 2025 legislators, The Prosperity Legislative Scorecard will consider more than just votes. Legislators may be dinged based on their business friendliness and what bills they file. Votes will remain the majority of the score calculation. This will provide the business community and public with a better understating of who champions pro-growth issues.

Another change is doing away with a set list of bills monitored for the entire session, without must addition. Instead, The Prosperity Legislative Scorecard will consider all bills the entire session. This provides more options to score. We don’t know what will catch on each year, so we need flexibility to ensure we score the right bills.

An Eye on the Issues

A profile of each legislator’s individual voting record for bills dealing with business, industry, job creation and economic growth issues deemed important by the private sector. All legislation introduced during the session regarding the issues listed is evaluated. Each legislator is graded with respect to his or her position on each bill. A wide range of reports, graphic illustrations and voting profiles are disseminated across the state based upon each legislator’s voting record.
