In the US, at least, interest groups, like individual citizens, can encourage legislators to propose legislation for any purpose they wish. At the federal level, only a Senator or member of the House of Representatives can officially introduce a bill for Congressional consideration.

Is it true or false that special interest groups have an opportunity to propose legislation for their own benefit?
True and false. It is false that special interest groups have an opportunity to propose legislation, regardless of whether it benefits them. However, it is true that special interest groups influence politicians who can then propose legislation benefiting that group.Another View: Disagree partially with the above response. Legislation introduced by lawmakers is rarely drafted and researched by them or their own staff. It is sent up to them by the very people that wish to have it enacted.THUS, perhaps not all, but much of what is proposed by the special interests DOES eventually appear in bills which may become law.
