The bill proposes the creation of the State Sovereignty Act of 2025, which aims to assert West Virginia's autonomy by explicitly rejecting the jurisdiction of foreign entities, specifically the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum. It establishes that these organizations have no authority within the state and that West Virginia and its political subdivisions are not required to enforce any mandates or requirements issued by them.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any mandates from these foreign entities, 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 emphasizes the state's commitment to uphold its constitution and laws against external influences, ensuring that no foreign mandates can impose requirements on its citizens.
