What this bill would do
The H.R. 6107 bill, known as the "Preventing Adversary Influence, Disinformation, and Obscured Foreign Financing Act of 2025," seeks to amend the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938. It modifies requirements regarding exemptions for certain agents of foreign principals. Specifically, it targets exemptions for agents working for corporate or government entities owned or controlled by specific identified countries. Additionally, the bill establishes a mechanism for the Secretary of State to propose adding or deleting countries from the "country of concern" definition. This modification process requires a specific type of joint resolution of approval from Congress. Finally, the amendments contained in this section are set to terminate five years after the Act is enacted.
