The proposed bill, titled the State Sovereignty Act of 2026, aims to establish a new legal framework within the Code of West Virginia by adding a new article. This article explicitly states that the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum have no jurisdiction within the state. It asserts that West Virginia and its political subdivisions are not required to enforce or collaborate on any mandates or requirements issued by these foreign entities.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any mandates from the aforementioned organizations, including those related to masks, vaccines, medical testing, or the collection of personal information, shall not be recognized or enforced in West Virginia. These mandates are declared to have no legal effect within the state, reinforcing the state's autonomy in matters of public health and governance.
