LC 4265 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws regarding foreign governments

This bill requires foreign agents - individuals acting on behalf of foreign governments, corporations, or educational institutions to influence policy, elections, or government relationships - to register with Montana’s Secretary of State and pay a fee. It mandates monthly reports detailing their activities and creates exceptions for certain entities. Additionally, the bill disqualifies specific foreign corporations from receiving state economic development incentives. These changes aim to increase transparency around foreign influence on Montana’s domestic affairs, directly affecting foreign agents and qualifying foreign corporations.
