Bill > HJ0002

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution that would prohibit foreign adversaries of the United States from owning or possessing real property within the state. Specifically, the resolution seeks to add a new subsection to Article 1, Section 29, which currently guarantees equal property rights for resident aliens and citizens. The proposed amendment would create an exception for foreign adversaries who pose a threat to national security or the safety of persons in the United States, effectively barring such entities from acquiring, enjoying, or inheriting any real property interests in Wyoming. This includes surface, subsurface, airspace, and mineral rights. The proposed constitutional amendment would be submitted to Wyoming voters at the next general election for approval or rejection, and would become part of the state constitution if ratified by a majority of voters. The resolution aims to enhance state-level protections against potential national security risks by restricting property ownership by entities deemed hostile to the United States.
