Defines military bases in foreign land ban
The law defines “military installation” for Georgia’s ban on certain foreign people or companies getting property rights in covered land. A “military installation” is a facility owned and operated by the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Space Force, or Coast Guard. It shelters military equipment and personnel and supports training and operations. This clear definition helps state agencies enforce the ban and better protect military sites across Georgia.
