## Summary

**Expands CFIUS review of foreign real estate near military assets.** The bill would also create cross-agency rules that pause certain energy project approvals until investment reviews finish. - Foreign buyers, lessees, or concessionaires owned, controlled by, acting for, or receiving subsidies from Russia, China, Iran, or North Korea would face mandatory CFIUS review for property within 100 miles of a military installation or within 50 miles of specified military airspace, training routes, or operations. CFIUS must open a review for these transactions. - Energy developers and infrastructure projects on land subject to those reviews would see Department of Defense and Department of Transportation determinations delayed until CFIUS concludes its action, and DoD must notify Transportation of any delay. - If CFIUS refers a transaction to the President as a national security threat, DoD would be required to find the project poses an unacceptable risk and transmit that finding to Transportation for inclusion in its report. - Members of Congress from the state and congressional district where the property or military asset is located would receive certification and notifications about the CFIUS action.
