Lobbying Disclosure Act

The Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) is a U.S. law enacted in 1995 that requires individuals and organizations who lobby Congress or federal agencies to register and report their activities. This includes disclosing the issues they are lobbying for, their clients, and how much they spend on lobbying efforts. The purpose of the LDA is to promote transparency in the political process by making it easier for the public to see who is influencing government decisions and to what extent, thereby fostering accountability in lobbying practices.
