About this page

The lobbying table lists Senate LDA quarterly reports (LD-2) that cite this bill by number and cover a quarter of the 119th Congress. An LD-2 names a bill as “H.R. 1234” with no Congress, so a report on another Congress, which can only concern a different bill with the same number, is left out, even when it was filed after this Congress began. The amount is what the registrant reported for the whole filing, across every issue on it, not spending on this bill. Official actions and the bill summary come from Congress.gov, and votes from the roll-call record. This page no longer pairs the bill with members' stock trades: matching lobbying clients to traded companies by name, and trades to a bill by date, is not something the records establish.
