Bill > HR1887

This bill amends the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 to require lobbying registrants to disclose whether they are exempt under section 3(h) of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Specifically, the bill adds a new requirement that when lobbyists register, they must include a statement indicating if they qualify for an exemption under FARA. The Foreign Agents Registration Act is a federal law that requires individuals and organizations acting as agents of foreign principals in a political or quasi-political capacity to disclose their relationship with those foreign entities and provide information about related activities. By mandating this additional disclosure, the bill aims to increase transparency in lobbying activities and provide more information about potential foreign influence in U.S. political and governmental processes. The modification is relatively simple, adding just one new reporting requirement to the existing lobbying registration process.
