H.R. 1887 requires lobbyists and lobbying firms to disclose whether they are exempt from registering as foreign agents under federal law. Specifically, the bill amends the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 to add a new disclosure requirement stating whether registrants qualify for an exemption under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938. This affects anyone who registers as a lobbyist and may fall under foreign agent exemptions. The bill has no specified funding or implementation timeline beyond its enactment and was introduced in March 2025 by Representatives Neguse and Roy before being referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The change aims to increase transparency about the overlap between lobbying and foreign agent activities by making exemption status a matter of public record.
