The connection table
Organizations that lobbied this bill, and money each gave South Carolina's delegates this cycle: its PAC's contributions (FEC) plus its lobbyists' reported contributions and event payments (LD‑203, group events excluded). Exact name matches only. An empty cell means no matching money was found. Under each name is that delegate’s final vote on the bill (passage or last substantive vote). Delegates who didn’t vote on it, for example because they weren’t serving, are grayed out and left out of the Total column.
