Bank of America Spent $1.4M on Lobbying

The company lobbied on dozens of bills moving through Congress, including legislation to tighten restrictions on mortgage lending to home buyers with weak credit. Lobbyists also promoted the company's views on issues of student loans, credit card fees and security of bank customers' personal information.

Under a federal law enacted in 1995, lobbyists are required to disclose activities that could influence members of the executive and legislative branches. They must disclose how much they spent on lobbying during the first six months of each year.
