Reported lobbying

At least

organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing.

A floor, not a total. Those organizations were counted by the client name on 13 quarterly reports filed by 5 registered lobbying firms in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, so an organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.

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

The organizations named

ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION
BIOGEN
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF FAMILY PHYSICIANS
GENERAL FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
EISAI INC.

Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.

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 and 2026 Q2. The pull came up 2 short in 2025 Q4 and 7 short in 2026 Q2 against the register's own count, so those quarters are the filings posted rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
