HR 7500 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Defense Production Act of 1950 to allow an Indian Tribe to request CFIUS review of certain transactions between the Indian Tribe and foreign persons, and for other purposes.

HR 7500 allows federally recognized Indian tribes to request national security reviews (CFIUS) for transactions with foreign persons, mirroring the process available to corporations. It amends the Defense Production Act to require CFIUS to assess such tribal transactions for national security risks, treating them the same as covered business deals involving U.S. entities. This directly affects tribal governments entering business or real estate agreements with foreign entities, giving them equal access to the security review process. The bill does not change CFIUS's authority but extends its application to tribal transactions as defined under the Indian Self-Determination Act.
