Securing America’s Land from Foreign Interference Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Latest action on H.R. 809: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects members of the Chinese Communist Party and any companies or organizations under CCP ownership, control, or influence that want to buy property in the U.S. It could also affect American property sellers, real estate agents, and local housing markets in areas where CCP-linked buyers have been active.
Why this matters: Foreign ownership of U.S. land near military bases and critical infrastructure has become a growing national security concern. This bill tries to address that by cutting off one specific source of foreign land purchases. But the broad, undefined scope of who counts as CCP-influenced means it could affect a wide range of people and businesses — not just those posing a security risk.
