Foreign adversaries-prohibited property ownership.
This joint resolution proposes amending Wyoming's constitution to prohibit "foreign adversaries of the United States that pose a threat to national security" from owning real property in the state. It would specifically bar these entities from possessing, taxing, enjoying, or inheriting real estate, including surface, subsurface, airspace, or mineral interests. The amendment, if approved by voters, would require constitutional change rather than a new law. This affects only foreign entities designated as national security threats by U.S. standards, not all foreign property owners.
