S 4893

This bill, the Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act, aims to increase transparency in lobbying activities by requiring registered lobbyists to disclose whether they are exempt from registering as a foreign agent. Specifically, it amends the Lobbying Disclosure Act to mandate that lobbyists indicate whether their lobbying activities qualify them for an exemption under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. This will provide greater insight into potential foreign influence in lobbying efforts. The bill focuses on clarifying the circumstances under which lobbyists can avoid registration requirements.
