Bill information
Summary
To amend the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 to remove the limitation on the amount of a civil penalty, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change a law from 1978 that requires foreign investors to report their farmland purchases to the federal government. Specifically, it removes a cap on civil penalties—fines that can be imposed on violators who fail to disclose their farmland investments. The bill gives the government stronger enforcement tools without a maximum penalty limit. It was introduced in the House and is currently awaiting review.
