Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act

Sponsored By: Senator Peters, Gary C. [D-MI]

Passed Senate

Summary

Requires lobbying registrants to disclose whether they are exempt from the Foreign Agents Registration Act under section 3(h). The bill would amend the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 by adding a new paragraph to 2 U.S.C. 1603(b) that compels registrants to state affirmatively if they claim the 3(h) exemption, creating an explicit field in LDA filings to make cross referencing with FARA exemption records easier.

Lobbyists would disclose foreign-agent exemption

If enacted, lobbyists, lobbying firms, and organizations that file under the Lobbying Disclosure Act would need to say whether they are exempt under section 3(h) of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. This statement would be included in their LDA registration or disclosure filings. The bill does not include an effective date, new funding, or added penalties. This would add transparency for Congress and the public.
