This bill prohibits the use of federal funds for United States membership or financial contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO). These funds will be withheld until the Secretary of State certifies to Congress that the WHO has met a comprehensive set of conditions. The conditions require the WHO to implement meaningful reforms for transparency, accountability, and non-politicized humanitarian aid, while also ensuring it is not under the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party or involved in a COVID-19 coverup. Additionally, the WHO must grant observer status to Taiwan , cease diverting supplies to nations like Iran, North Korea, or Syria, and discontinue engagement on controversial issues such as "gender identity," climate change, and abortion. A final condition mandates that, as a prerequisite for U.S. membership, no WHO directive can be considered legally binding on any United States citizen or individual State.
