No lobbyist's monthly report names this bill.

Lobbying reports name a bill number, not a position on it or a version of it. Money: what each employer (as a donor to two or more 2026 candidates) gave to the 2026 campaigns of the members who voted yea or nay on the bill's latest final passage in each chamber.
