The bill, H.B. No. 706, proposes to amend the Government Code of Texas by adding a new chapter that specifically addresses the jurisdiction of certain international organizations. Under the newly inserted Chapter 3, titled "International Organizations," it is stated that the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum will have no jurisdiction within the state of Texas. Furthermore, the bill establishes 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 ensure that Texas maintains autonomy over its laws and regulations. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, should it be enacted.
