SOIL Act of 2025

This proposal would block people and companies tied to certain foreign governments from buying, leasing, or getting special rights to use property within 10 miles of sensitive places in the United States. These places include ports, U.S. military bases, and other government sites important to national security. If a violation is found, a federal committee would alert Congress. The rule would apply only to deals made after the law takes effect.

Key points

• Who is affected: People, companies, and organizations from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, including those controlled by these governments.
• What changes: Buying, leasing, or getting concessions for property within 10 miles of sensitive sites—like ports and military bases—would be banned for these countries and their controlled entities.
• When: Applies to transactions made on or after the date this becomes law.
