Some senators and students claim there is less debate on legislation this session than previous ones. But others claim actual debate and contested votes are not common in senate. On bills with recorded vote outcomes, the number of “contested” bills (the winning vote to be less than or equal to 80 percent), the current session and two more are shown. Percentages represent the portion of contested bills of all bills voted on. Data for 56th session is incomplete since they are still actively voting on legislation until after the spring elections.
