The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend Article 1, Section 29 of the Wyoming Constitution to prohibit foreign adversaries and specified foreign entities from owning property in the state. The amendment introduces new legal language stating that, with the exception of certain provisions, no distinction shall be made by law between resident aliens and citizens regarding property rights. However, it specifically states that foreign adversaries of the United States, who pose a threat to national security or the safety of individuals, will not be entitled to possess, enjoy, or inherit real property in Wyoming, including any interests in real estate, 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 restrictions placed on foreign adversaries in relation to real property rights within the state.
