Lobbying is a part big of the legislative process. Companies pay lobbyists money to work with legislators on bills while also pushing for legislation to pass. However, companies aren’t the only groups that lobby, with schools also spending money to get their priorities passed in the General Assembly.
Here is a list of Northern Kentucky companies and schools that lobbied during the session and what bills they lobbied.
