Bill overview
```json { "summary": "This bill, the Don’t Quit to Lobby Act, changes the rules about how long former members of Congress are prohibited from lobbying.

For House members, the restriction period is extended to one year after they leave office. This aims to provide a longer cooling-off period for former lawmakers before they can engage in lobbying activities.", "keyProvisions": [ "Extends the lobbying prohibition period for former Senators to two years after the end of their term.", "Extends the lobbying prohibition period for former House Representatives to one year after they leave office.", "Amends Section 207(
