Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act is a Senate bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects lobbyists and lobbying firms that file federal lobbying forms. It matters most when they also rely on a foreign-agent law exemption. The public, reporters, and officials could use the new disclosure to spot that more easily.

Why this matters: Lobbying forms can be hard to connect with foreign-agent rules, and this bill would make one link easier to see. It would show when a registered lobbyist uses a specific FARA exemption. That could help people track foreign-related lobbying more clearly. The bill may not change behavior much because it does not change the exemption, penalties, or who must register.

Key provisions in S. 264

The bill changes the part of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 that tells lobbyists what to include when they register.
Each lobbying registrant would have to say whether they use the Foreign Agents Registration Act exemption for certain lobbyists who report under lobbying law instead of foreign-agent law.
The bill does not change the FARA exemption itself. It only makes lobbyists disclose whether they use it.
The bill does not add new penalties or enforcement powers. It uses the current Lobbying Disclosure Act system.
The Senate passed the bill on June 22, 2023. It would still need House approval and the President’s signature to become law.
