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.
This legislation aims to limit the influence of these international organizations on state governance and policy. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, should it be enacted.
