H.R. 4454 — SOIL Act of 2025

This section establishes a prohibition preventing covered foreign countries—China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and any entity controlled by or acting on behalf of their governments—from purchasing, leasing, or receiving concessions for property within 10 miles of a sensitive site. Sensitive sites include U.S. air or maritime ports, military installations, other U.S. government facilities sensitive for national security reasons (as defined by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)), or any real estate that CFIUS determines could enable intelligence collection on or expose national security activities at such sites to foreign surveillance risks. (Thus, such transactions by these countries are outright banned rather than merely subject to CFIUS review, as under current law.) The prohibition applies to transactions on or after enactment, and CFIUS must notify Congress of any violations or attempted violations.
