What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill changes how the U.S. government reviews foreign purchases of American farmland. It requires the Department of Agriculture to flag certain farmland deals involving people or companies from China, North Korea, Russia, or Iran, and send them to a government committee called CFIUS, which checks whether foreign investments could be a threat to national security. CFIUS would then decide whether those farmland deals need a formal security review. The bill also adds the Secretary of Agriculture as a member of that committee when the deals involve farmland, agricultural technology, or the agriculture industry.
