HR 8155

The Foreign Propaganda Transparency Act aims to increase public awareness of foreign influence campaigns by strengthening the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Specifically, it requires informational materials produced on behalf of foreign entities to disclose whether the foreign entity is controlled or funded by a ‘covered nation’ – a term defined in existing law. This disclosure would detail the extent of the foreign nation’s influence, promoting greater accountability in the use of foreign money to shape public opinion. The bill seeks to clarify and expand existing regulations regarding foreign influence.
