Senate Bill 21, sponsored by Pody, seeks to amend various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to assert state sovereignty over international policymaking organizations. The bill introduces a new section in Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 1, defining key terms such as "educational institution," "governmental entity," and "international policymaking organization." It specifies that organizations like the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum fall under the definition of international policymaking organizations.

The bill establishes that these international organizations have no jurisdiction or authority within Tennessee or its political subdivisions. It further stipulates that any U.S. law or federal rule based on policies from these organizations is also without jurisdiction in the state. Additionally, governmental entities are prohibited from adopting or enforcing any policies or guidelines from international organizations unless explicitly authorized by state law. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of state sovereignty in legislative matters.
