(The Center Square) – The Iowa Senate passed a bill that creates tighter restrictions on land owners by foreign entities during its first day of floor debate.

Senate File 2204 would give the attorney general subpoena powers to investigate land ownership. The bill also increases penalties for foreign entities that don’t file with the secretary of state or falsify a report.
