While there is interest in limiting foreign influence, this bill currently lacks the broad bipartisan support needed to move quickly through a divided Congress.
Key Points
This bill stops foreign governments and people from countries labeled as adversaries from giving feedback on new federal rules. It also blocks them from asking U.S. agencies to create or change specific regulations.
The ban targets governments, citizens, and businesses from countries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. These groups would be banned from the public comment process that agencies use to gather opinions on new laws.
The goal is to prevent foreign countries from influencing U.S. government decisions. Supporters want to make sure that the rules governing American life are shaped by Americans rather than foreign rivals.
This change would update the main law that explains how federal agencies must act. It would ensure that only people and companies from the U.S. or non-adversary nations can participate in these official discussions.
