The purpose of a public interest group can be to lobby for legislation that would improve either a local, State or the Federal government's duty is solve public problems. Additionally the same sort of group can have the goal of pointing out that laws and regulations already in existence are not being enforced. A public interest group can also lobby for legislation to abolish certain laws it believes are harmful to the general public or to a specific citizen group such as senior citizens.

I must make this a major edit because the answer above does not make sense. I'll leave it there in case a supervisor thinks it does.
A public interest group is a number of people (large number or small number) who wish to influence public policy on one or several matters. If successful this could mean changing a law or help to pass a new law. It can also change the interpretation of a law or policy. Examples of what a public interest group can do, has done, or wants to do regarding public policy are limitless in number or type. I'll give one example of what a public interest group might be involved with. The hottest topic these days in the USA are gun laws. This is an ongoing public issue but the shooting of school children in Connecticut has once again put the spotlight on this controversial topic. There now exists a series of laws both nationally and at the State & local levels regarding various types of firearms. A public interest group can come together and propose that obtaining firearms should be more difficult in order to reduce the number of them. The group may not be against the ban of weapons but rather stronger regulations pertaining the purchase of guns. It is true that there are public interest groups opposing additional restraints on gun ownership.
The purpose here is not to debate the issue but to answer the question regarding public interest groups.

Public interest groups are similar to nonpartisan groups because a public interest group can be a nonpartisan group and be free from ties to any political parties. In ways they still differ because public interest group can still also be part of a political party.
