2/11/2025, 5:53 AMSummary of Bill S 92
Bill 119 s 92 is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to require Senate approval before the United States can enter into any obligations under a pandemic agreement with the World Health Organization (WHO). The bill also seeks to suspend funding for the WHO until such an agreement is ratified by the Senate.If passed, this bill would give the Senate the authority to review and approve any pandemic agreements that the US government wishes to enter into with the WHO. This would ensure that the Senate has a say in any commitments made by the US in relation to global health crises.
Additionally, the bill would halt funding for the WHO until the Senate has ratified the pandemic agreement. This would put pressure on the WHO to work with the Senate and ensure that any agreements are in line with US interests and priorities. Overall, Bill 119 s 92 aims to increase transparency and accountability in US involvement with the WHO and ensure that the Senate has a voice in decisions related to global health emergencies.
