Bill Summary

The government would gain stronger powers to review and block foreign purchases of land in the United States, especially near military bases, power plants, and other sensitive locations that could affect national security. The bill would expand what counts as a "sensitive site" and give the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States more authority to stop purchases by companies or individuals from countries considered adversaries. This would help protect American food production and critical infrastructure from foreign control.
