What this bill would do
The Protecting Military Installations and Ranges Act of 2025 requires the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to review specific real estate transactions. These reviews target purchases or leases of real estate near military installations or specific military airspace. The requirements apply to foreign persons connected to or subsidized by the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran, or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The bill mandates that the Committee initiate these reviews unilaterally. Additionally, it establishes rules regarding the review of energy projects when real property transactions are under investigation.
