Should foreign countries own land in North Dakota?
Straight Talk with NDFB
Foreign ownership of land in North Dakota has been a major concern recently. Learn why a North Dakota Senator has introduced a bill prohibiting foreign adversaries from owning land in our state.
Senator Bob Paulson of Minot has introduced Senate Bill 2371, which would prohibit United States adversaries from owning land in our state.
Senator Paulson is a retired Navy pilot and rancher. He served in the House from 2019 to 2022 and is serving his first term as a senator.
Several other bills pertaining to foreign ownership of land have been introduced, however, NDFB's Legislative Task Force determined that Senator Paulson's bill was the best one to support.
Other bills addressing foreign ownership include:
SB 2371 is in a committee hearing as this episode is being posted.
