HB 446 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

State Government - As introduced, restricts the jurisdiction of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum in this state. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6 and Title 7.

HB 446, introduced in Tennessee but withdrawn on February 3, 2025, aimed to prohibit state and local governments from enforcing or collaborating with mandates from the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations (UN), or World Economic Forum (WEF). The bill would have blocked Tennessee entities (including counties, schools, and health agencies) from complying with global health initiatives like the International Health Regulations (IHR), vaccine mandates, or data collection efforts promoted by these organizations. It also banned accepting funding tied to such organizations and imposed civil penalties of up to $20,000 for violations. The bill did not ban the organizations themselves but sought to prevent their mandates from affecting state or local actions. As withdrawn, it never became law.
