The Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as amended ( 22 U.S.C. 611 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 3 the following: Section 3(d)(1) shall not apply to an agent of a covered Chinese business organization. Section 3(h) shall not apply to an agent of a covered Chinese business organization. In the case of an agent of a covered Chinese business organization who has registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 ( 2 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), after the agent files the first registration required under section 2(a) in connection with the agent’s representation of the covered Chinese business organization, the agent shall file all subsequent statements, information, or documents required under section 2 at the same time, and in the same frequency, as the reports filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives or the Secretary of the Senate (as the case may be) under section 5 of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 ( 2 U.S.C. 1604 ) in connection with the agent’s representation of the covered Chinese business organization.
In this section, the term covered Chinese business organization means— an entity described in section 1(b)(3) which is organized under the laws of, or has its principal place of business in, the People’s Republic of China (including any subsidiary or affiliate of such an entity), except that such term does not include a subsidiary or affiliate of an entity which is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, a country other than the People’s Republic of China; or an entity designated by the Attorney General as subject to the extrajudicial direction of the Chinese Communist Party. .
Section 3 of such Act ( 22 U.S.C. 613 ) is amended— in subsection (d)(1), by striking in private and inserting except as provided in section 3A(a), in private ; and in subsection (h), by striking Any agent and inserting Except as provided in section 3A(b), any agent . Section 2(b) of such Act ( 22 U.S.C. 612(b) ) is amended in the first sentence by striking six months succeeding such filing and inserting six months succeeding such filing (except as provided in section 3A(b)(2)) .
The amendments made by this Act shall take effect 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
