Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Sections 5-8-3 And 5-8-5, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Require Registered Lobbyists To Include In Annual Registration Statements Whether The Lobbyist's Client Is A Foreign Principal Of A Foreign Adversary And To Provide Definitions; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to require registered lobbyists to disclose if their client is a "foreign principal" of a "foreign adversary," which is defined as a foreign government or persons designated as such by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce. Lobbyists will need to include this information, along with the name of the foreign adversary, in their annual registration statements. This change aims to increase transparency regarding who lobbyists are representing, particularly when those clients may have ties to foreign entities deemed adversaries by the United States.
