Tennessee SB2235 establishes requirements for agents of foreign adversaries to register and report political activities.

Tennessee SB2235, known as the Foreign Agent Registration Act, mandates agents of foreign adversaries to register with the Tennessee ethics commission. These agents must file a registration statement within seven days of becoming an agent, detailing personal and business information, the nature of their political activities, and any affiliations with foreign adversaries. The act prohibits agents from engaging in conduct similar to that of lobbyists and imposes penalties for non-compliance, including fines and potential disbarment for attorneys.
