WHO Accountability Act: Halting Funds Until Conditions Met

This act aims to stop U.S. funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) until specific conditions are met. This means taxpayer money will not go to the WHO if the organization fails to implement reforms regarding transparency, independence, and operational practices. This impacts how the U.S. engages with global public health initiatives.
Key points
The U.S. will withhold contributions to the WHO until the organization proves it is not under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party and did not cover up information about the COVID-19 pandemic.
The WHO must implement reforms to increase transparency and accountability, and cease involvement in issues unrelated to its core mission, such as climate change or abortion.
No WHO directives will be legally binding on U.S. citizens or states if the United States rejoins the organization.
