FY2025 Budget Resolution

This is the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2025, agreed to by both chambers in April 2025. A budget resolution is a concurrent resolution, which means it is an internal blueprint that Congress adopts for itself; it is not a law, it is not signed by the President, and it does not by itself spend money or change tax rates. What it does is set target levels for federal revenue, spending, deficits, and the public debt for fiscal year 2025 and each year through 2034, and set spending targets across the major budget categories such as defense, health, Medicare, and net interest. Its most consequential part is a set of reconciliation instructions, which are the mechanism that unlocks a filibuster-proof reconciliation bill in the Senate. The resolution orders named House and Senate committees to write legislation that changes spending and revenue in their areas by specified dollar amounts, and it separately instructs the tax-writing committees to raise the statutory debt limit. Those instructions are the starting point of the process that later produced the large reconciliation package. The resolution also carries policy statements and reserve-fund provisions describing goals such as cutting mandatory spending and reducing federal regulation.

At least 506 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 1,342 quarterly reports filed by 80 lobbying firms and by 260 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.

The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.

5 of them, in no ranking: Nassau Suffolk Hospital Council; American Chiropractic Association; Small Business Majority Foundation, Inc.; Bayada Hearts for Homecare; Reforming America's Taxes Equitably (RATE). Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 501 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.

From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
