The bill H.R. 983: Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves Tuition Fairness Act of 2025, sponsored by Derrick Van Orden, shows no direct overlap between the sponsor's top donor industries and the bill's subject matter. The top donor industries for Van Orden are Retired, Securities & Investment, and Government, which donated $112,500,000, $45,000,000, and $45,000,000 respectively. The bill, however, pertains to tuition fairness for selected reserves, a subject that does not directly involve any of these industries. Lobbying activity in the bill's policy area does not involve any entities related to Van Orden's top donors either. Therefore, based on this data, the risk of potential conflicts of interest is low.
