S 684 United States Senate · 118th Congress

This Land Is Our Land Act

S 684, the "This Land Is Our Land Act," prohibits Chinese government-linked businesses (including corporations, government entities, and affiliated organizations) from acquiring, leasing, or owning U.S. agricultural land. It requires such entities to sell existing farmland holdings within two years of the law's enactment, with daily fines of $100 per acre for noncompliance. The bill also voids noncompete agreements between these entities and their employees and mandates the Agriculture Secretary to establish an enforcement office within 180 days. This applies to all agricultural land across U.S. states and territories, including Puerto Rico and Guam.
