Lobbying for legislation involves individuals or groups, known as lobbyists, advocating for specific laws or policies. These lobbyists often represent businesses, nonprofits, or interest groups and work to influence lawmakers by providing information, research, and arguments that support their positions. The goal of lobbying is to persuade legislators to introduce, amend, or vote for legislation that aligns with the lobbyists' interests. This process can include meetings, providing testimony at hearings, and mobilizing public support to create a favorable environment for the proposed laws.
