Prohibiting lobbying for or by foreign adversaries; authorizing the attorney general to file civil lawsuits; providing for civil penalties for violations thereof.

HB 2205 prohibits lobbyists from accepting compensation for influencing Kansas government actions on behalf of designated foreign adversaries (including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria) or their designated clients. It directly affects lobbyists, law firms, and organizations engaging in such activities for these entities. The bill authorizes Kansas' Attorney General to sue violators and impose civil penalties of up to $150,000 per violation, with fines going to the state general fund. Key provisions include clear definitions of "foreign adversary" and "foreign adversary client," and require the Attorney General to collect legal fees from violators.
