AI-Generated Summary

The Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act changes the 1995 Lobbying Disclosure Act so that lobbyists must indicate if they qualify for an exemption under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. This adds a new question to the lobbyist registration form, making the public record clearer about any foreign‑agent connections. It affects all individuals and organizations that register as lobbyists under the current law.

Adds a new required disclosure for anyone who registers as a lobbyist, asking them to state whether they are exempt from the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
