AI Summary
This bill, the Protecting America's Agricultural Land from Foreign Harm Act of 2023, aims to prohibit the purchase or lease of agricultural land in the United States by persons associated with certain foreign governments, namely Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia. It defines "agricultural land" broadly to include land used for ranching and establishes a definition of "covered persons" who would be subject to the prohibition. The bill also prohibits participation in U.S. Department of Agriculture programs by such covered persons and includes provisions to improve transparency and reporting requirements related to foreign ownership of agricultural land in the United States. Additionally, the bill requires various government reports on the risks, benefits, and national security implications of foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land.
