H.B. No. 1377 introduces a new chapter to the Texas Government Code, specifically Chapter 3, which addresses the jurisdiction of certain international organizations. The bill explicitly states that the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum have no jurisdiction within the state of Texas. Furthermore, it establishes that any rules, fees, taxes, policies, or mandates from these organizations cannot be enforced or implemented by the state or its political subdivisions.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, reinforcing Texas's stance on limiting the influence of these international entities within its jurisdiction. This legislative move reflects a broader trend of states asserting their sovereignty in the face of global governance.
