Bill > HR2850

This bill, the Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Economic and Energy Conversion Act of 2021, aims to provide for the abolition of nuclear weapons and the redirection of nuclear weapons program resources towards a peaceful, environmentally-friendly economy. The key provisions of the bill include: 1) the U.S. government signing and ratifying the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons or a similar international agreement to dismantle and eliminate all nuclear weapons globally; 2) redirecting resources from nuclear weapons programs to convert them to civilian, sustainable, carbon-free, and nuclear-free energy sources, as well as address human and infrastructure needs such as healthcare, housing, education, and environmental restoration; and 3) actively promoting policies to encourage all other countries to join these commitments. The bill will take effect once the President certifies that all countries possessing nuclear weapons have begun eliminating their weapons under comparable legal requirements.
