Bill > HR3229

This bill amends the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (FARA) to strengthen transparency and enforcement of registration requirements for individuals who have acted as agents of foreign principals. The bill clarifies that the obligation to register and disclose foreign agency activities is ongoing, even after an individual's work for a foreign principal has ended. Specifically, it modifies the law to allow the Attorney General to seek court orders requiring compliance with FARA registration requirements for up to 5 years after an individual has worked as a foreign agent. The bill also mandates annual reports to Congress detailing enforcement actions against individuals who have failed to properly register their foreign agency work. These changes aim to improve oversight of foreign influence by ensuring that individuals who have worked on behalf of foreign governments or entities continue to be accountable for disclosing those relationships, even after their direct work has concluded. The bill applies to individuals who have served as foreign agents during the 5 years preceding its enactment, on the date of enactment, or after the enactment date.
