Senate Votes to Overhaul Security Reviews of Foreign Investments

Legislation that would overhaul the way the federal government assesses national security threats posed by foreign investments was passed by the Senate Friday by voice vote.

The Senate passed the bill (HR 556) after substituting the text of its own version (S 1610) — essentially the measure approved May 16 by the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, plus a technical amendment.
