Between January 2023 and July 2024, at least 22 states enacted legislation regulating foreign ownership of real property. A group of plaintiffs filed a legal challenge to one state law-Florida's Senate Bill 264 (SB 264)-arguing that it violates their constitutional rights, does not comport with the federal Fair Housing Act, and is preempted by federal law. This Sidebar (1) outlines the recent state legislation on foreign ownership of real property; (2) discusses SB 264 and the lawsuit challenging it; and (3) examines considerations for Congress. Many State Legislatures Enacted Laws Regulating Foreign Ownership of U.S. Land in 2023 and 2024 Between January 2023 and July 2024, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Idaho (H.B. 173 and H.B. 496), Indiana (S.B. 477, H.B. 1183), Iowa (S.F. 2204, S.F. 574), Louisiana (H.B. 537, H.B. 238), Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska (L.B. 1301, L.B. 1120), New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota (HB 1135, SB 2371), Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota (H.B. 1189, H.B. 1231), Tennessee (H.B. 40, H.B. 2553), Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming enacted legislation regulating foreign ownership of U.S. land.
