Summary

The bill forces non‑resident aliens, foreign companies or governments that own agricultural land in Iowa to file a registration and biennial updates with the secretary of state. That information, along with an annual summary prepared by the secretary, is kept as a confidential record but can be accessed by the attorney general, governor and members of the legislature to evaluate foreign land ownership and its impact on the state economy.
