This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution, specifically Article 1, Section 29, to prohibit foreign adversaries and certain foreign entities from owning property in Wyoming. The amendment introduces a new subsection (a) that states no legal distinction shall be made between resident aliens and citizens regarding property rights, while subsection (b) specifies that foreign adversaries posing a threat to U.S. national security will not be entitled to possess, enjoy, or inherit real property in the state. This includes all interests in real estate, such as surface, subsurface, airspace, or mineral rights.
If ratified by a majority of voters in the next general election, this amendment would clarify the rights of foreign adversaries concerning property ownership in Wyoming, reinforcing the state's commitment to national security. The Secretary of State is tasked with endorsing a statement that outlines the implications of this amendment, emphasizing the restriction on property rights for those deemed a threat to the safety and security of the United States.
