H.R. 8278
Fostering the Use of Technology to Uphold Regulatory Effectiveness in Supervision Act
In plain English
This bill would require eight federal financial agencies to review their technology and their ability to monitor the financial institutions they oversee in real time. The agencies would also review how they buy or develop technology and identify ways to simplify that process. Every five years, they would report to designated congressional committees on their technology, planned upgrades, purchasing practices, technology staff, and data-sharing procedures.

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.
