An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in bases of jurisdiction and interstate and international procedure, providing for jurisdiction of certain international organizations.
This bill (HB 122) prevents Pennsylvania state and local government entities from enforcing any rules, fees, taxes, or mandates issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations (UN), or World Economic Forum (WEF). It directly affects all Pennsylvania agencies, municipalities, and government bodies by prohibiting them from implementing or enforcing any requirements from these international organizations. The law explicitly states these organizations "shall have no jurisdiction or power" within Pennsylvania, blocking enforcement of their policies by any state or local entity. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
