Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit certain businesses and persons from purchasing real estate adjacent to covered Federal lands in the United States, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits certain entities associated with the People's Republic of China from purchasing real estate located adjacent to specific federal lands in the United States. Specifically, the bill prevents agents of the Chinese government or businesses that are at least 25% owned by the Chinese government from buying land near federally owned properties. The "covered Federal lands" include properties under the jurisdiction of several key government departments, such as the Departments of Interior, Defense, Agriculture (specifically Forest Service lands), and Energy, as well as lands classified as "Indian country" under existing legal definitions. The bill applies to all U.S. territories and states, including Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The goal appears to be preventing Chinese government-related entities from acquiring strategically located real estate near sensitive federal lands, likely due to national security concerns and ongoing geopolitical tensions between the United States and China.
