Bill > HB2397

This bill prohibits the conveyance of real property located in Kansas to persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a "foreign adversary," which is defined as a government or non-government entity determined to be a foreign adversary under federal regulations. The bill establishes criminal penalties for violations and requires the Attorney General to investigate such property transactions. Exceptions are made for certain types of property acquisitions, and property owned by foreign adversaries prior to the bill's effective date can be sold, but not to other foreign adversaries. The bill also contains a severability clause, ensuring that if any part is found invalid, the rest of the bill can still be enforced.
