Plain-language change summary

The bill HB 1311 was amended to specifically define and report funding from foreign entities while removing one country—Russia—from the list of foreign sources that require disclosure. This change matters because it tightens the focus on countries that may pose security concerns, ensuring that institutions receive oversight on funding from nations like China, Iran, Cuba, and North Korea, but no longer includes Russia, which may reflect shifting geopolitical priorities.
