Stop CCP Land Act
United States119th CongressHR-1184House of Representatives
Updated: Feb 11, 2025
Summary
The "Stop China's Continuous Purchase of Land Act" aims to prevent certain foreign entities from acquiring agricultural land in the United States. It mandates that states must enact laws prohibiting covered foreign countries , or persons acting on their behalf, from purchasing agricultural land within their borders to remain eligible for specific federal program funds. These state laws would also require annual reporting from covered foreign persons who already hold agricultural land in the state. The bill defines "covered foreign country" to include nations on the State Department's Defense Trade Control Country Policies List, explicitly naming Russia, and implicitly targeting China. It also requires the Secretary of Agriculture to report on updating foreign investment disclosure laws and the Comptroller General to assess the national security impact of foreign real estate manipulation. The federal funds at stake encompass a broad range of programs, many related to agriculture, energy, and environmental initiatives.
