Protecting Military Installations and Ranges Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Arrington, Jodey C. [R-TX-19]

Introduced

Summary

Expands CFIUS review of foreign real estate near U.S. military installations and sensitive airspace. The bill would cover purchases, leases, or concessions by persons owned, controlled by, acting for, or receiving subsidies from Russia, the People's Republic of China, Iran, or North Korea and would pause related energy project approvals until security reviews finish.

Show full summary
  • Military bases and nearby communities: Real estate within 100 miles of a military installation or within 50 miles of certain military airspace zones, training routes, controlled firing areas, or operations areas would trigger review. This increases scrutiny of land and facilities near ranges and training areas.
  • Foreign investors tied to specific countries: Transactions by persons linked to or subsidized by Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea would face mandatory CFIUS review. The Committee must unilaterally initiate reviews and certify notifications to the Senator and Representative for the affected area.
  • Energy and transportation projects: The Department of Transportation could not finalize an energy project determination for property under CFIUS review until CFIUS completes action and the Department of Defense issues or declines to issue a national security finding. The DoD must report unacceptable national security risks to the Secretary of Transportation for inclusion in DOT reports.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Energy project approvals wait for security review

If enacted, the Defense Department would pause its review of certain energy projects while the land deal is under a national security review. Defense would tell the Transportation Department about the delay. Transportation would wait to issue a decision until the security review is finished and Defense issues a security finding or says none is coming.

Stricter checks on foreign land near bases

If enacted, more foreign land deals near U.S. bases would face a national security review. Reviews would cover properties within 100 miles of a military installation and within 50 miles of training routes, special military airspace, controlled firing areas, or military operations areas. This would apply when the buyer or lessee is tied to Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea. The review committee would have to start these reviews on its own and notify the state's Senators and the local House Member. For deals tied to an energy project that are sent to the President as a threat, the Defense Department would have to find the project poses an unacceptable risk and tell Transportation.
