The bill, S.B. No. 129, introduces a new chapter to the Texas Government Code that specifically addresses the jurisdiction of certain international organizations. It establishes that the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum have no jurisdiction within the state of Texas. Furthermore, it explicitly states that any rules, fees, taxes, policies, or mandates from these organizations cannot be enforced or implemented by the state or its political subdivisions.

This legislation aims to limit the influence of these international entities on state governance and policy. The new provisions will take effect on September 1, 2025, reinforcing Texas's stance on maintaining autonomy from international regulations and mandates.
