Bill > HR458

This bill, known as the "Protecting our Land Act," aims to prohibit the purchase of public or private real estate in the United States by foreign adversaries and state sponsors of terrorism. The bill directs the President to instruct federal departments and agencies to create rules that prevent the acquisition of U.S. real estate by foreign adversaries, which are defined as any foreign government or entity engaged in conduct significantly harmful to U.S. national security. State sponsors of terrorism are specifically defined as countries whose governments have repeatedly supported international terrorism, as determined by various existing legal provisions. The bill provides a comprehensive definition of "United States" that includes all states, territories, and possessions. The legislation applies to direct purchases by foreign adversaries, as well as purchases by their agents, instrumentalities, or entities under their ownership or control. By implementing these restrictions, the bill seeks to protect U.S. national security interests and prevent potentially hostile foreign entities from acquiring real estate within American territories.
