Foreign agents; Certain foreign agents and foreign political organizations required to register with Secretary of State, civil penalties imposed for violations

Summary

The bill forces anyone acting as an agent for a hostile foreign country—or any political organization that has received support from such a foreign principal and engages in political activity in Alabama—to file a detailed registration with the Secretary of State. It also allows the Secretary to levy civil penalties for non‑compliance, with an appeal right to the State Ethics Commission. The purpose is to give voters and officials clearer insight into foreign influence.
