Foreign Political Influence Elimination Act: New Rules for Campaign Finance and Lobbying
This act aims to limit foreign influence on US elections and politics. It introduces new definitions for foreign entities, prohibits them from certain campaign activities, and strengthens oversight of foreign lobbyists. Citizens can expect greater transparency in political funding and reduced risk of hidden foreign influence.
