What this bill does

In plain words · AI-written from the official summary

Restricts foreign purchases near military sites

This bill keeps certain foreign entities from buying or leasing land near U.S. military installations and training areas. It applies to people or companies tied to Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea—including those that receive financial support from those countries. A special government committee called CFIUS would need to review these land purchases and leases before they can go through.

How it affects you

This mainly affects foreign investors and companies from those four countries who might want to buy property in the U.S. For most Americans, it means there's an extra layer of review to prevent potential foreign powers from owning land close to military locations.

Protecting Military Installations and Ranges Act of 2025

This bill places restrictions on the purchase of certain property by a foreign person (e.g., an individual or entity) who is owned or controlled by, is acting for or on behalf of, or receives subsidies from Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea.

Specifically, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) must review a purchase or lease by, or a concession to, any such foreign person of private or public real estate in the United States that is within (1) 100 miles of a military installation; or (2) 50 miles of a military training route, special use airspace, a controlled firing area, or a military operations area.

Further, the Department of Defense and the Department of Transportation may not issue final determinations regarding specified projects (e.g., energy projects) that involve a transaction under review by CFIUS until CFIUS concludes its action.
