Chamber scorecard reveals legislators' votes on issues important to business

To keep its members informed on relevant issues at the state Capitol, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber prepares a Legislative Scorecard every year. The scorecard includes information provided by the statewide Research Institute for Economic Development (RIED) to identify elected officials’ votes on issues important to the business community.

Alongside the RIED scores, the Chamber also assigns a score to legislators based on priority issues advocated by the Chamber during the legislative session. The following charts represent voting records for state Senate and House elected officials during the 2021 legislative session.

Issues identified by the Chamber and/or RIED for this year's scores, included, but were not limited to, elected officials’ votes on these selected bills:

• Local Development Act, Ad Valorem Taxation (SB 609)
• Prohibiting guns during concerts at Scissortail Park (HB 2645)
• Oklahoma Quality Events Act Extension (HB 1121)
• Aerospace Engineering Tax Credit Modifications (SB 893)
• Regional Transportation Authority Liability Protections (SB 967)
