Bill > S92

This bill aims to restrict the United States' involvement with the World Health Organization (WHO) during the negotiation and potential adoption of a new pandemic treaty. Specifically, the bill prevents the U.S. from entering into any new international pandemic-related agreements through the WHO without explicit Senate approval, as required by the U.S. Constitution's treaty-making process. Additionally, the bill mandates a complete suspension of U.S. funding to the WHO from the moment a new pandemic agreement is proposed until the Senate formally ratifies that agreement through a resolution. The legislation is designed to ensure that any global pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response agreements are thoroughly reviewed and approved by the Senate, thereby protecting what the bill's sponsors likely view as American sovereignty in international health policy. By tying funding to Senate approval, the bill creates a powerful mechanism to compel congressional oversight of any new WHO pandemic agreements.
