HB 2527 amends the Texas Government Code to prohibit lobbyists from representing certain foreign entities or individuals linked to designated countries that pose a national security risk, as identified by U.S. intelligence reports. The bill restricts lobbyists from registering on behalf of foreign governments, organizations headquartered in those countries, or individuals domiciled there. It establishes criminal penalties, making violations a third-degree felony.
