The bill would prohibit federal departments and agencies from using funds to seek U.S. membership in the World Health Organization or provide it with assessed or voluntary contributions. The restriction would remain until the Secretary of State certifies to Congress that the organization meets eight conditions. These include reforms to humanitarian aid and transparency, observer status for Taiwan, and limits on certain activities and legally binding directives.
The bill does not directly change individual services or rights. It would restrict federal funding to the World Health Organization until the Secretary of State makes the required certification. It also says the organization’s directives could not be legally binding on U.S. citizens or states as a condition of U.S. membership.
