Bills: Lobbying Filings

Coverage notes

A bill is counted here only when a lobbying report (LD-2) cites it by number and covers a quarter of the bill's own Congress. Reports name a bill as “H.R. 1234” with no Congress, so one on another Congress, which concerns a different bill with the same number, is not counted. A low count does not mean the bill is unimportant: many filings describe issues without naming a bill number, and new bills have not yet appeared in a quarterly report.

237 bills in this view are cited 7,564 times in lobbying reports on their Congress. A report that names two bills counts once for each.
