S 3610 United States Senate · 119th Congress

No Funding for Foreign Agents Act

S 3610, the "No Funding for Foreign Agents Act," prohibits U.S. government funding to entities controlled by agents of specific foreign governments. It bars direct or indirect U.S. financial assistance (including grants, loans, and vouchers) from being provided to any organization controlled by an agent of a "covered foreign principal," defined as governments of nations including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and several African countries listed in the bill. The law specifically targets entities acting under the direction of these foreign governments, excluding individuals or U.S.-based organizations not controlled by such agents. This policy change restricts federal funding eligibility for foreign-influenced groups without altering existing foreign aid programs.
