The bill requires the attorney general to seek an injunction to restrain any violations of the bill.

AI Summary

This bill addresses the relationship between Iowa and certain international organizations, specifically the United Nations (UN) and the World Economic Forum (WEF). The legislation declares that any rules, regulations, fees, taxes, policies, or mandates from these organizations are not legally binding within the state of Iowa. Moreover, the bill prohibits any state or local government entities, including agencies, departments, boards, commissions, and political subdivisions, from enforcing or implementing such international directives. To ensure compliance, the bill requires the state's attorney general to take legal action by seeking an injunction against any potential violations of this prohibition. By introducing this legislation, the bill aims to assert state sovereignty and limit the influence of international organizations on Iowa's governance and policy-making processes, effectively creating a legal barrier against the implementation of UN or WEF guidelines at the state and local levels.
