HR 8155 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Foreign Propaganda Transparency Act
To amend the Foreign Agents Registration Act to require certain disclosures on informational materials, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 to require additional disclosures on informational materials produced by foreign agents. The bill requires that materials include a conspicuous statement detailing whether the foreign principal is supervised, directed, owned, controlled, financed, or subsidized by a covered nation or any other foreign government acting on behalf of or for the benefit of such a covered nation. This enhances existing transparency requirements under the Foreign Agents Registration Act regarding foreign government relationships and control.
