The Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA)

The Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) is a U.S. law that requires individuals and organizations who try to influence federal government decisions to register and regularly report their lobbying activities. Its goal is to promote transparency by revealing who is lobbying, on what issues, and how much money is involved. This helps the public, policymakers, and watchdog groups track influence efforts and ensures accountability in the influence of money and interests on government actions.
