Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday signed a bill that limits land sales to noncitizens from several countries – specifically China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The new state law is likely to trigger a legal challenge.
Supporters of Senate Bill 17 argued that it is necessary because, according to a legislative analysis, individuals and entities tied to each of the four governments identified pose "threats relating to espionage, surveillance, and undue hostile foreign influence, all of which risk state security."
