*First Bill of 2024 Sent to Gov. Reynolds’ Desk, Iowa House Passes Foreign Ownership of Land Bill* 

 

DES MOINES – Gov. Kim Reynolds issued the following statement in response the Iowa House passing SF 2204: 

“American farmland should remain in American hands, and Iowa’s agricultural dominance must be protected. Other states look to Iowa as a model, but foreign adversaries are adapting, and our laws must too. I’m proud that the first bill sent to my desk this legislative session had bipartisan support to protect our most valuable resource: our land. Iowans across all 99 counties have expressed the need for tougher foreign ownership laws that strengthen enforcement, increase reporting, and enhance transparency. And today, we can say we’ve delivered.”
