Bill > A09031

This bill proposes to amend New York's real property law by adding a new article that explicitly prohibits the sale, lease, transfer, or conveyance of any real property located in New York to the People's Republic of China (PRC), the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or any of their affiliated entities. The legislation makes such transactions unlawful, regardless of any existing laws that might otherwise permit such sales. To enforce this prohibition, the bill grants the New York State Attorney General the authority to take legal action, including seeking injunctions or declaratory relief in the state supreme court, against any parties attempting to sell or lease property to the PRC, CCP, or their affiliates. The bill is designed to prevent Chinese government or party-related entities from acquiring real estate in New York, likely motivated by national security concerns and tensions between the United States and China. The law would go into effect 30 days after it is signed, providing a clear and immediate restriction on property transactions with Chinese government-related entities.
