Legislation moves sectors, so the page leads with what each bill does if it passes, derived from the bill's own sector impacts. Donations, retained lobbyists and campaigns pointed at specific bills are the legal instruments; bribery is the illegal one and is kept on a separate tab, because the game treats that distinction as real.

A failed bribe adds substantial regulatory heat on its own. Every action states what it leaves you with — cash after, and heat after where heat is generated — before the click rather than after it.
