From the Committee of 100 Newsletter dated 8/1/24.

New York, NY (August 1, 2024) — Committee of 100, a non-profit organization of prominent Chinese Americans, today announced an update to its national database research which tracks harmful alien land laws legislation. Committee of 100 has been outspoken in denouncing the legislation in Florida, Texas and additional states that would limit the ability of non-U.S. citizens to purchase land in their state.

To track the surge of 2024 legislation prohibiting property ownership by Chinese citizens (including permanent US residents) across the U.S., Committee of 100 has updated its database which identifies and explains such legislation considered, and in some cases passed, by Congress and state governments.

The webpage features an interactive map of the United States that visually demonstrates the data. The data can be filtered by the provisions included in the legislation, including the types of entities prohibited from owning property (e.g. Chinese citizens, businesses headquartered in China) and the types of properties prohibited from ownership  (e.g. residential, commercial, agricultural property).
