Chamber provides higher marks for legislators NIKI KELLY | The Journal Gazette The Indiana Chamber of Commerce's annual report scoring state lawmakers on key business legislation saw overall marks – ranging from 42% to 97% – rise from last year. “The Legislative Vote Analysis is our annual method to quantify for citizens and employers how their lawmakers voted on issues vital to the state's economy,” Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar said. “For many legislators, the scores are higher this year. In fact, the average scores for House Republicans, House Democrats and Senate Republicans all improved.” Bills included for examination in the analysis can be traced back to the Indiana Chamber's economic development plan. Among the legislation included in the report that became law: civil immunity for businesses related to COVID-19; broadband expansion in underserved areas and populations; and further business personal property tax exemption for small businesses.
