Bill > HR1888

This bill proposes a comprehensive approach to nuclear weapons abolition and resource reallocation, with three key provisions. First, it expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should provide global leadership by signing the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and working to eliminate nuclear weapons worldwide, but only ratifying the treaty when verifiable and irreversible dismantlement can be ensured. Second, the bill mandates that once the President certifies all nuclear-armed countries have begun eliminating their nuclear weapons, federal funding currently allocated to nuclear weapons programs will be redirected to addressing the climate crisis, including developing renewable energy sources, converting nuclear weapons industry infrastructure, and retraining nuclear industry employees. Third, the bill calls for using these redirected resources to address critical human and infrastructure needs such as health care, housing, education, agriculture, and environmental restoration, including long-term radioactive waste monitoring. The ultimate goal is to create a more peaceful and secure world by promoting global nuclear disarmament and redirecting significant resources toward constructive, sustainable purposes that benefit humanity and the planet.
