Foreign Agents Registration Modernization Act of 2021
Summary
Foreign Agents Registration Modernization Act of 2021 This bill modifies requirements related to the electronic database that contains the registrations that an agent of a foreign principal must file with the Department of Justice (DOJ). Specifically, DOJ must establish and maintain the free and publicly accessible National Foreign Agents Database, which must make such foreign agent registrations searchable, sortable, and downloadable.
