Blocking UN Global Carbon Tax Imposed on US Citizens and Businesses.
This bill aims to prevent the United Nations or its agencies from imposing any new taxes, fees, or penalties on US citizens and entities without explicit Senate approval. Specifically, it blocks the implementation of a global carbon tax levied on vessel owners for greenhouse gas emissions. This ensures that federal funds cannot be used to support or enforce this international climate fee system.
