## Summary

**Blocks long-term retail agreements on military bases with companies controlled by certain foreign nations.** This bill would create a two-track national-security screening system that bans new or renewed long-term concessions unless narrowly waived, requires review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and allows termination when ownership or disclosures are false or missing. - Service members and families would see stricter limits on who can run base stores, with waivers allowed only if goods or services are vital for welfare and morale and no reasonable alternatives exist, plus required risk-mitigation steps and a 30-day congressional report when a waiver is used. - The Department of Defense would have to assess existing long-term concessions within 180 days and terminate agreements found to be controlled by a covered nation within 12 months after a determination. - Covered retailers and foreign owners would face a notice requirement to CFIUS within 30 days of enactment, a ban on operating until CFIUS approves, a 180-day CFIUS decision window, annual ownership disclosures, and immediate termination for noncompliance. *No fiscal estimate provided in the sources.*
