The proposed bill, titled the State Sovereignty Act of 2025, aims to establish a legal framework in West Virginia that explicitly rejects the jurisdiction of foreign entities, specifically the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum. The bill introduces new articles to the West Virginia Code, asserting that these organizations have no authority within the state. It stipulates that West Virginia and its political subdivisions are not required to enforce any mandates or requirements issued by these foreign entities, thereby reinforcing the state's autonomy in governance.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes that any mandates from the aforementioned organizations, including those related to masks, vaccines, medical testing, or the collection of personal information, will not be recognized or enforced in West Virginia. This legislation seeks to ensure that the state's constitution and laws take precedence over any external directives, thereby safeguarding the rights and freedoms of its citizens against perceived overreach by international bodies.
