Bill > SB7

This bill prohibits foreign adversaries from acquiring agricultural or forestry land in Wisconsin, defining "foreign adversary" to include specific countries like China, Iran, and Russia, and also includes entities or individuals connected to them. The bill amends existing law to allow aliens, or non-citizens, to acquire land but subjects them to new limitations, including this prohibition. It also creates new rules regarding the use of condemnation power, which is the government's ability to take private property for public use, stating it cannot be used for wind or solar energy facilities. Importantly, the bill specifies that these new restrictions on foreign adversaries apply only to real property acquired on or after the bill's effective date, meaning existing ownership is not affected.
