The floor
One absolute question decides the tier: did anything this member wrote become law, and did it pass on its own legs? No median enters here. A chamber where most members enact nothing cannot grade itself on a curve.

The absence register
A duty with no published record cannot be tested, and that is a finding rather than a gap in our collection. Each row names the rule, whether a record exists at all, and which Citizens’ League instrument carries it.

How to read it
Own legs versus rode. A bill with two recorded actions, no floor or committee step, and a related bill whose own record carries the same public-law number did not pass — its text was carried inside that vehicle. The distinction is mechanical, and of the 265 enactments credited to sitting members, 120 rode.
Absolute, then peer — never merged. The tier uses no median. The peer lines use nothing but medians and are labelled as such. A member can be Neither on the floor and the strongest coalition builder in their delegation; both print, and neither cancels the other.
Trading and timeliness are two questions. Trading individual securities is permitted. Reporting a transaction more than 45 days after it happened is not — House Rules XXVI and XXVII, and the STOCK Act, set that deadline. The $200 late-filing fee attaches 30 days later still, at 75 days. Whether that fee was ever assessed, waived or paid is not published by the Committee on Ethics, so it cannot be tested by anyone.
Current term only. Nothing before January 2025 counts. A member was already paid for earlier work — with the seat.
Not established is not No. A verified absence is a finding and prints as No. Evidence not yet collected prints as not established and is never counted against a member.
