Keeping Public Lands Out of Adversarial Hands Act

This bill would add the Secretary of the Interior to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) when the committee looks at a deal involving land or resources next to land or sites owned or managed by certain Interior agencies, such as the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service. If the Secretary of the Interior notifies the committee of a land or resource purchase by a person from China, North Korea, Russia, or Iran, the committee would have to decide whether the deal falls under its authority and whether to review it or take other action. These requirements would end for a country once it is removed from the federal list of foreign adversaries.
