Plain-English Summary

The legislation would give the federal government new authority to review and block foreign investments and technology deals that could pose national security risks, particularly from countries like China. Companies and investors would need to notify the government about certain transactions involving sensitive technologies, data, or infrastructure, and officials could force the sale or restructuring of deals deemed threatening. The rules would affect tech companies, telecommunications firms, and other businesses involved in critical infrastructure or advanced technologies.
