How to read a vote: NHLA recommends Yea or Nay on each motion. Motions of Ought to Pass (OTP), Ought to Pass with Amendment (OTPA) and adopting a Committee of Conference report pass a bill; Inexpedient to Legislate (ITL), Table, Indefinitely Postpone and Interim Study (IS) kill or shelve it. So a Yea on ITL can be the pro-liberty vote. "With liberty" below means the legislator voted the way NHLA recommended on that motion. Scores rest mainly on these roll calls, with a small modifier for bill sponsorship.
