AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar "covered persons" from buying housing in the United States starting on the day it becomes law. Covered persons include citizens of certain foreign countries of concern who are not also U.S. citizens, companies with any ownership by such people, foreign entities of concern, foreign adversaries, state sponsors of terrorism, and people or groups owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with them. Within 2 years, covered persons who already own U.S. housing would have to sell it to a U.S. citizen or U.S. corporation. The President would direct federal agencies to write rules to enforce the purchase ban and the required sales.
