SB 460 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the jurisdiction and enforcement of certain international organization policies.

SB 460 would prevent Texas state agencies, local governments, schools, and universities from enforcing or implementing policies from the United Nations or World Health Organization (WHO) without specific authorization from Texas law or a governor's executive order. It directly affects all public schools, universities, and state agencies by requiring explicit state-level permission before adopting UN or WHO guidelines. The bill creates two key provisions: one banning UN jurisdiction in Texas, and another specifically blocking enforcement of WHO health policies without state authorization. This legislation is currently pending in the State Affairs Committee and has not yet become law.
