The Florida Chamber of Commerce released its official 2021 Florida Chamber Legislative Report Card on Friday, showcasing grades earned by all 160 legislators in the Florida House and Senate based on their votes during the 2021 Legislative Session.

The business advocacy group tabulated 4,931 votes cast during the 2021 Legislative Session, with the Chamber rewarding high marks to legislators pushing their top priorities. Some of the top issues this session included protecting businesses and healthcare providers from frivolous COVID-19 lawsuits and leveling the playing field between out-of-stage online retailers and local, brick-and-mortar businesses by closing an online sales tax loophole.

According to the comprehensive report, the Chamber awarded 88 lawmakers with A’s, 13 with B’s, 8 with C’s, 12 with D’s, and 39 with F’s. The Florida House obtained an average GPA of 79 percent, while the Florida Senate edged them out with an 80 percent score.

“Florida’s economy won with the Florida Chamber-backed, pro-jobs policy passed during the 2021 Legislative Session,” said Florida Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Mark Wilson. “The actions taken by Governor DeSantis and Florida’s lawmakers will go a long way in continuing to build momentum towards creating the more than 2 million jobs necessary to take Florida from the 17th largest economy in the world to the 10^th largest by 2030 and securing Florida’s future.”
