What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Agricultural Risk Review Act of 2025'', seeks to amend the Defense Production Act of 1950. It proposes adding the Secretary of Agriculture as a member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. This inclusion applies to transactions involving agricultural land, agriculture biotechnology, or the agriculture industry, including transportation, storage, and processing. Additionally, the bill establishes a process for the Committee to consider certain agricultural land transactions after receiving notification from the Secretary of Agriculture. These transactions involve foreign persons from the People's Republic of China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, or the Islamic Republic of Iran.
