S.981

Foreign Agents Transparency Act clarifies ongoing registration obligations for foreign agents.

The Foreign Agents Transparency Act amends the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 to clarify that individuals who served as agents of foreign principals must continue to register under the Act for activities carried out previously. It also allows the Attorney General to seek court orders requiring compliance with the Act, even after the individual has ceased acting as an agent. Additionally, the Act mandates annual reports from the Attorney General detailing actions taken to enforce the Act, including the rationale and status of each action.
