Latest action on S. 2305: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects tax-exempt nonprofits that take money or other support from listed foreign sources. It could matter most for charities, advocacy groups, labor groups, trade groups, and business leagues with ties to countries named in the bill or added later. It also affects donors, partners, and the public because FARA filings can make foreign funding and related work more visible.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change how foreign-funded nonprofits operate in the United States. It would make some groups publicly report more about foreign money, agreements, and related activities. That could help people spot foreign influence in U.S. policy debates. It could also raise costs for nonprofits and make some groups worry about being publicly labeled foreign agents.

Key provisions in S. 2305

• Some tax-exempt nonprofits would count as foreign agents if they take money or anything valuable from covered foreign sources. This applies to 501(c)(3) through 501(c)(6) groups that are not already foreign agents under FARA.
• The bill names China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela as countries of concern. The Secretary of State could add more countries later.
• Covered foreign sources include governments, political parties, nationals, and entities based in those countries. It also includes some entities in other countries if more than half their funding comes from those sources.
• Covered groups could not use the usual FARA waiver for groups that file lobbying reports under the Lobbying Disclosure Act.
• A humanitarian aid fundraising waiver could still apply. The group could use it even when it raises the money outside the United States.
