Georgia governor signs bill into law restricting land sales to some Chinese citizens

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Tuesday signed a bill into law limiting the ability of some Chinese citizens to buy land in the state. The bill, SB420, echoes measures already signed into law in numerous other states. It bans any “agent” of China from buying farmland in Georgia or any commercial land near military installations.

The ban extends to businesses in those countries as well, but does not apply to residential property. Other critics warned that the bill could face legal hurdles. “In time, we will see that this bill preempts federal law and violates people's constitutional protections,” said Thong Phan, with the Atlanta chapter of Asian Americans Advancing Justice.
