Foreign Funding Transparency Act

Abstract
(HR9772 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-18): Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Why this matters
Foreign funding transparency proposals routed through Ways and Means typically operate via tax-code disclosure or reporting obligations rather than direct trade controls, but they can indirectly affect cross-border investment flows and importer/exporter compliance burdens. Tracking the bill’s referral is useful as a marker even before operative text emerges, since related transparency regimes (AFIDA, CFIUS, country-by-country reporting) are already active in this area.
