In September 2024, the House Education and Workforce Committee and the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party uncovered a troubling fact: federal agencies had inadvertently bolstered China's military capabilities by funding researchers affiliated with American universities who partnered with Chinese universities. This brief provides the first comprehensive overview of the existing state-level foreign funds disclosure laws applicable to universities. State foreign disclosure laws can and do offer several key improvements over the current federal disclosure standards. However, there is significant variation: many states' disclosure laws could be significantly improved by matching or exceeding the standards set by the most comprehensive state laws. In addition, most states do not have any such law. The key improvements that foreign disclosure laws at the state level can make, relative to federal disclosure laws include: (1) Lower reporting thresholds; (2) Make donor names public; (3) Consistently report the purpose of the gift; (4) Define enforcement mechanisms and penalties; and (5) Provide clear definitions of university-affiliated organizations. The model legislation presented in this brief improves laws already adopted by states by suggesting language to implement these recommendations. If states enact laws that include these provisions, the loopholes that malign foreign actors repeatedly exploit to avoid disclosure of their funding campaigns would close. While these laws will not stop foreign funds entirely, they subject universities to public accountability for the relationships that they enter with foreign actors.
