AN ACT To require any convention, agreement, or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response reached by the World Health Assembly to be subject to Senate ratification.

AI Summary

This bill requires any convention, agreement, or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response reached by the World Health Assembly to be subject to Senate ratification under the U.S. Constitution. It cites the U.S. public's skepticism of the World Health Organization's leadership and independence from the influence of certain member states, including China. The bill expresses Congress's preference that such agreements be considered treaties, given their broad scope, and states that any such agreement that cannot garner two-thirds Senate support should not be implemented by the United States.
