State Governors gain the right to know about foreign investment reviews.

This bill increases transparency in the foreign investment review process in the U.S. State Governors will be able to formally request a determination from the federal Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) on whether a specific transaction is subject to national security review. CFIUS must respond within 30 days. While not directly affecting citizens, this change enhances state oversight of potentially risky investments, indirectly impacting the economic and national security of local communities.
