AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires people working for foreign governments or groups to register and disclose that work. It would remove certain exemptions from registration for agents of companies or government entities owned or controlled by countries listed as "countries of concern" in federal law. It would let the Secretary of State, after consulting the Attorney General, propose adding or removing countries from that list, but a change would take effect only if Congress passes a joint resolution approving it. The changes made by the bill would end 5 years after it becomes law.
