According to the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act, nearly 41 million acres of land is own (partially or fully) by foreign entitles. Current federal law does not regulate this land aside from requiring foreign buyers to register with the USDA. Don’t miss this in-depth discussion on the federal and state rules regulating foreign ownership of U.S. land, including the reporting requirements of foreign investments in U.S. businesses and agriculture. Real estate lawyers, agricultural law attorneys, business advice and financial planning practitioners, and international/immigration counsel with intermediate practice experience who attend this online seminar will better understand:
  • Illinois reporting requirements for foreign-owned land;
  • The Illinois legislative proposals seeking to restrict foreign investments in land located within the state;
  • Which surrounding states currently restrict foreign investments in land; and
  • The Corporate Transparency Act reporting requirements for certain foreign entities.
