More people and companies working for entities tied to listed foreign countries would have to register under FARA. The State Department could suggest list changes, but Congress would have to approve them. The new rules would expire after 5 years.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
PAID OFF Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Latest action on H.R. 6107: Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people, firms, and organizations in the United States that work for companies or government bodies tied to listed countries of concern. They could lose access to three FARA exceptions and may have to register and report more information. It also affects the State Department, the Justice Department, and Congress because they would share roles in changing the country list.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it could make more foreign influence work in the United States visible to the public. It focuses on agents tied to countries that existing law treats as special risks. The bill could help track influence from those countries, but it could also add costs for groups doing ordinary business, media, nonprofit, or academic work. Because the rules expire after 5 years, Congress would have to revisit whether they worked.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
