Fighting Foreign Influence Act: Disclosure of Donations and Lifetime Lobbying Ban for Officials.
This Act aims to increase transparency in the funding of non-profit organizations and think tanks by requiring the disclosure of contributions over $50,000 from foreign governments and political parties. It imposes a lifetime ban on lobbying for foreign entities by former Members of Congress, senior political appointees, and high-ranking military officers. Additionally, it tightens rules for online election contributions, requiring CVV disclosure and address verification to curb foreign interference in elections.
Key points
Funding Transparency: Tax-exempt organizations (think tanks, non-profits) must publicly disclose contributions exceeding $50,000 received from foreign governments or political parties.
Lobbying Ban: Former Members of Congress, senior political appointees, and general/flag officers are permanently prohibited from registering and acting as agents of foreign principals.
Election Security: Online credit card contributions to federal campaigns now require the disclosure of the credit verification value (CVV) and verification of a U.S. billing address to prevent illegal foreign donations.
Contribution Delivery Ban: Foreign agents are prohibited from delivering (physically or electronically transferring) contributions made by another person to federal candidates or their authorized committees.
