The Senate unanimously passed the Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act, a bipartisan bill authored by Senators Gary Peters and Chuck Grassley. The legislation requires lobbyists representing foreign organizations to indicate if they are utilizing a FARA exemption when registering under the LDA.
The Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act (S. 865) seeks to narrow the LDA exemption. While it would not eliminate the exemption, it would require individuals to disclose their use of it in their LDA registration, highlighting for the DOJ those lobbying on behalf of foreign interests.
