- Covered foreign governments and their proxies would be barred from acquiring property within 10 miles of listed sensitive sites. The ban covers purchases, leases, and concessions made on or after enactment.
- Owners of public or private land near airports, ports, and military bases could no longer sell or lease to those covered parties, narrowing the pool of eligible buyers for some parcels.
- The Committee implementing Section 721 would be able to add more locations to the "sensitive site" list if they could give foreign actors intelligence access or increase surveillance risk, and must notify Congress of any violations or attempted violations.
