## Summary

**Requires FARA disclosures to explicitly state ties to specified foreign governments.** This bill would expand the Foreign Agents Registration Act so that informational materials must say when a foreign principal is supervised, directed, owned, controlled, financed, or subsidized, in whole or in part, by a "covered nation" as defined in 10 U.S.C. 4872(f)(2) or by any other foreign government acting on behalf of that covered nation. - Organizations and registered agents: Would have to add a conspicuous statement to informational materials about whether their foreign principal has supervision, control, ownership, financing, or subsidy links to a covered nation or a government acting for that nation. - News consumers and the public: Would get clearer labeling about whether material comes from a foreign principal tied to a covered nation, helping readers judge potential foreign influence. - Foreign principals and governments: The law would make ties involving control or funding by covered nations part of routine public disclosure under FARA.
