MS Foreign Land Ownership Act; revise to grant management to the MS Department of Agriculture.

HB 10 revises Mississippi's Foreign Land Ownership Act to transfer oversight of the law from the Attorney General to the Mississippi Department of Agriculture. It requires nonresident aliens owning agricultural or forest land to dispose of such property within 1-2 years (depending on how they acquired it) or face penalties. Violations trigger fines starting at $100,000 for the first offense, with property subject to judicial forfeiture after fines go unpaid. The bill also clarifies definitions and disclosure requirements related to foreign land ownership. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was not enacted.
