Securing America’s Land from Foreign Interference Act

# Securing America's Land from Foreign Interference Act - Plain Language Summary **What the bill would do:** If passed, this bill would direct the President to ban members of the Chinese Communist Party and companies controlled by the party from buying real estate in the United States, its territories, and possessions. Currently, there are limited restrictions on foreign nationals purchasing U.S. property, and this bill would create a specific prohibition targeting Chinese Communist Party-affiliated individuals and entities. **Who it affects:** The bill would primarily affect Chinese Communist Party members and organizations controlled by the party that might otherwise purchase American land or property. It could also impact U.S.

property sellers who might have Chinese buyers, and potentially affect broader U.S.-China business relations. American citizens and businesses would generally not be directly affected unless they are involved in property transactions with restricted Chinese entities. **Current status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. Many bills introduced in Congress never advance beyond the committee stage.
