foreign entities; land; legislative approval

SB 1066 prohibits the transfer of land in Arizona to foreign entities identified as hostile to the United States by U.S. intelligence assessments (specifically, countries listed in the three most recent annual threat assessments by the U.S. Director of National Intelligence). It requires real estate professionals and land sellers to collect and submit valid identification for buyers, including business names and addresses for non-individual entities. The bill defines "foreign entity that is hostile" as foreign governments, state-controlled enterprises, or their agents, and specifies valid identification as government-issued IDs, driver’s licenses, or tribal identification. The measure was passed by the Arizona legislature in April 2025 but vetoed by the governor.
