Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act

HR 4041, the Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act, requires lobbyists to disclose whether they qualify for an exemption under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Specifically, it amends the Lobbying Disclosure Act to add a new requirement for registrants to state if they are exempt under FARA section 3(h) (22 U.S.C. 613(h)). This affects registered lobbyists who may represent foreign principals but claim exemption from FARA registration. The bill changes disclosure forms to include this specific statement, enhancing transparency about foreign influence in lobbying activities.
