How far bills get, by lobbying
Each group by stage reached · colors as in the bar above
Bills and resolutions that 5 or more organizations lobbied on got past committee about twice as often as bills and resolutions with no lobbying on file.
Counts organizations that reported lobbying on a bill, once each, from filings made before the bill left committee. Only organizations with a PAC on file are counted (about 2,200), so universities, hospitals, local governments and most nonprofits are left out and “no lobbying on file” can include bills others lobbied on. Set aside: 84 must-pass bills (spending, defense, stopgap, budget) and the handful of bills lobbied by more organizations than almost any other (10 became law).
