Lobbyists would have to disclose use of one foreign agent law exemption

Officially: Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act

Lobbyists would have to say on their federal registration form whether they are using one exemption in the foreign agent law. The bill does not change who must register. It only adds this extra disclosure line.

Where it stands

Passed House. Now before the Senate.

This is the moment to act.

What this bill actually does

This bill changes the part of the 1995 Lobbying Disclosure Act that lists what must go on federal lobbyist registration forms.
It adds one new item to that form: the registrant must state whether they are exempt under section 3(h) of the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938.
All current registration rules stay in place. The bill adds a new statement, but it does not remove or replace anything already required.
