Missouri SB1153 modifies laws to restrict foreign ownership of agricultural land.

Missouri SB1153 modifies provisions to restrict foreign ownership of agricultural land. It prohibits aliens, foreign businesses, and foreign governments from acquiring agricultural land in the state, including for nonfarming purposes. Any such land acquired prior to the act's effective date must be divested. The act also mandates that any transfer of agricultural land by these entities must be submitted to the relevant authorities for review. Violations can lead to civil actions by the attorney general, with potential orders for divestiture and sale of the land.
