Requiring foreign state media outlets with credentialed members in the House news media galleries to comply with the Foreign Agents Registration Act by prohibiting the admission into such galleries of reporters and correspondents who are representatives of such outlets who are not in compliance with the requirements of such Act, and for other purposes.

HRES 189 requires foreign state media outlets with reporters in the House news media galleries to comply with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) before those reporters can receive credentials. It prohibits admission of reporters from outlets not registered under FARA or failing to meet its requirements, limits each outlet to 10 credentialed reporters, and mandates FBI background checks for all such reporters to ensure no security threat. This applies specifically to media outlets owned, funded, or controlled by foreign governments, such as those from China or Qatar, which have previously held credentials without FARA compliance. The bill updates House rules to enforce these security measures for media access in Capitol Hill galleries.
