Abstract
Omnibus legislating-the practice of combining numerous measures from disparate policy areas in one massive bill-has become a standard part of the legislative landscape in Washington and alters lawmaking in important ways; yet we know little about it. In this paper, I consider whether or not the omnibus method positively affects legislative productivity, as is suggested by many observers in Washington and academia. To test this hypothesis, I estimate two different models of legislative production. I find omnibus usage to be a positive and significant independent influence on legislative productivity in both models.
