Bill Summary
REFUSE Act Repelling Encroachment by Foreigners into U.S. Elections Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Repelling Encroachment by Foreigners into U.S. Elections Act (REFUSE Act), amends the Federal Election Campaign Act to treat certain foreign-owned corporations and business organizations as foreign nationals, prohibit foreign-affiliated section 501(c)(4) organizations from making certain election-related disbursements, and require certain candidates to report contributions by lobbyists representing foreign clients. It also reforms the Foreign Agents Registration Act to repeal the exemption from registration for persons filing disclosure reports under the Lobbying Disclosure Act, impose conditions for the exemption for persons providing legal representation, and authorize the Attorney General to issue civil investigative demands to promote enforcement of the registration requirements.
