Protecting our Land Act
HR 458, the Protecting our Land Act, prohibits foreign adversaries and state sponsors of terrorism from purchasing any real estate (public or private) in the United States. It directly affects foreign governments, entities designated as state sponsors of terrorism, and their agents or affiliates. The bill requires the President to direct federal agencies to create rules banning these purchases, covering all U.S. states, territories, and possessions. This is a concrete policy change that restricts specific foreign ownership of U.S. land based on security designations.
