More agents working for entities tied to “countries of concern” would have to register and report their work in the United States. Congress would have to approve any changes to that country list. The new rules would expire after 5 years.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
PAID OFF Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Latest action on H.R. 6107: Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people, companies, and groups in the United States that work for foreign companies or government bodies tied to listed “countries of concern.” Some of them could lose exemptions and have to register under FARA. It also affects the State Department, the Justice Department, and Congress because they would share roles in changing the country list.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could make foreign influence work in the United States easier to see when it involves certain countries. It could increase public reports about who is paying for that work and what agents are doing. At the same time, it could add costs and legal burdens for groups with ties to listed countries. The 5-year end date means Congress would have to revisit the rules later.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
