Bill > S197

This bill, called the "Protecting Military Installations and Ranges Act of 2025," requires the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to review and potentially block real estate purchases or leases near sensitive military areas by foreign entities from specific countries, specifically Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. The bill expands CFIUS's oversight to include any real estate transactions within 100 miles of a military installation or within 50 miles of military training routes, special use airspace, controlled firing areas, or military operations areas. If a foreign person or entity from the specified countries is involved in such a transaction, CFIUS must conduct a mandatory review to assess potential national security risks. Additionally, the bill introduces new procedural requirements, such as notifying local congressional representatives about these transactions and creating a special review process for energy projects that might be located on properties under CFIUS investigation. The legislation aims to prevent foreign governments from acquiring strategic real estate near critical military infrastructure that could potentially compromise national security.
