S 2229 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Retroactive Foreign Agents Registration Act

S 2229, the Retroactive Foreign Agents Registration Act, requires individuals who previously acted as agents for foreign governments or entities to register retroactively under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938. It amends the law to make registration obligations apply to past periods when someone served as a foreign agent, not just future activity. The bill allows the Attorney General to seek court orders requiring compliance with registration rules for any past period an individual acted as a foreign agent, even if they are no longer doing so. This applies to anyone who was a foreign agent at any time before, on, or after the bill's enactment.
