PLOT Act of 2026

S. 4192 proposes to amend the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978, a law that requires certain foreign investors to report their purchases of agricultural land in the United States. Under this bill, those required reports would need to include geospatial data—essentially mapping information showing the precise location of the agricultural properties being purchased.

The practical effect, if enacted, would be to give the federal government more detailed and precise information about where foreign entities are acquiring agricultural land. This could help policymakers and agencies track foreign investment patterns in American agriculture more accurately. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the Senate on March 25, 2026, and referred to committee for consideration.
