Senate Approval Required for WHO Pandemic Treaties; Funding Suspended Until Ratification.
This bill ensures that any new international agreements concerning pandemics, negotiated under the World Health Organization (WHO), must be approved by the US Senate as a formal treaty. This grants citizens, through their elected representatives, greater oversight over future pandemic policies. Furthermore, if such an agreement takes effect without Senate consent, the United States must immediately suspend funding to the WHO until ratification occurs.
Key points
Requires the US Senate to approve any new WHO international pandemic agreement by treating it as a formal treaty under the Constitution.
Suspends US financial contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO) from the agreement's effective date until the Senate officially ratifies it.
