Defending American Sovereignty in Global Pandemics Act
Introduced Jan 14, 2025 by Sen. John Barrasso
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill prohibits the United States from becoming a party to a World Health Organization (WHO) agreement related to strengthening pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response except pursuant to a treaty made under Article II, Section 2, clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution (which requires that two-thirds of Senators present concur with the treaty).
The bill also prohibits federal funding for WHO beginning on the effective date of such an agreement and ending on the date when the Senate ratifies the agreement.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
