HB 4597 restricts certain foreign individuals and entities from owning, acquiring, or leasing real estate in Texas, particularly agricultural land, properties near critical infrastructure, and commercial/multifamily properties. The bill defines foreign adversaries as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, along with their affiliated companies and government entities. It establishes a Homeland Security Review Committee to oversee property transactions involving foreign entities and authorizes the Texas Attorney General to seize property through eminent domain if it is owned by a foreign adversary in violation of these restrictions​.
