Relating to the jurisdiction of certain international organizations.
SB 129 prohibits the World Health Organization, United Nations, and World Economic Forum from exercising jurisdiction within Texas. It explicitly states that Texas state and local governments cannot enforce any rules, fees, taxes, policies, or mandates issued by these organizations. The bill directly affects Texas state agencies and political subdivisions (like cities or counties) by blocking their ability to implement international organization requirements. The law takes effect on September 1, 2025, and creates a new section in the Government Code to formalize this restriction.
