Amends the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) to suspend three statutory exemptions for agents of foreign principals that are corporate or government entities owned or controlled by certain countries identified under U.S. law, creates a process by which the Secretary of State (after consulting the Attorney General) can propose adding or removing countries from that list subject to a congressional joint resolution of approval, and makes the changes expire five years after enactment. The change increases registration and disclosure requirements for U.S. persons and other agents working for affected foreign principals and adds a formal congressional approval step to any future changes to the country list.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
