This legislation proposes to amend the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 , aiming to enhance transparency regarding foreign influence in U.S. lobbying efforts. The bill introduces new requirements for lobbyists to disclose additional information during registration. Specifically, it mandates that registrants must provide the name and address of any foreign government or foreign political party that participates in the direction, planning, supervision, or control of their lobbying activities. This disclosure is required even if such an entity is not the direct client, thereby shedding light on indirect foreign involvement. The amendment expands the contents of registration to ensure a more comprehensive understanding of all entities influencing lobbying activities.
