          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Preventing Adversary Influence, Disinformation, and Obscured Foreign Financing Act of 2023 or the PAID OFF Act of 2023&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires certain persons to register as agents of a foreign principal if the foreign principal in question is China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, or Syria.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Currently, the Foreign Agents Registration Act exempts certain agents from the act's registration requirements, including agents (1) engaged only in private and nonpolitical activities to advance a foreign principal's bona fide trade or commerce interests, or (2) engaged in certain lobbying activities and where the agent has registered as a lobbyist. Under this bill, these exemptions shall not apply if the foreign principal is one of the countries specified in this bill.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The changes made by this bill shall expire on October 1, 2026.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
