H.B. No. 2887 proposes to establish limitations on the jurisdiction of certain international organizations within the state of Texas. The bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 3, to the Government Code, specifically addressing the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum. It explicitly states that these organizations have no jurisdiction in Texas and prohibits the enforcement or implementation of any rules, fees, taxes, policies, or mandates from these entities by the state or its political subdivisions.
The bill aims to assert state sovereignty by ensuring that international organizations cannot impose their regulations or directives on Texas. If enacted, this legislation will take effect on September 1, 2025.
