SB 21 declares that international organizations like the World Health Organization, United Nations, and World Economic Forum have no legal authority within Tennessee. It prohibits Tennessee state agencies and local governments from following or enforcing federal laws or rules based on these international groups' guidelines, unless specifically allowed by Tennessee state law. The bill also explicitly bans state entities from adopting any recommendations from such organizations without prior state legislative authorization. This applies broadly across Tennessee’s legal codes, affecting how state agencies implement policies related to public health, safety, and other areas. The law aims to assert state sovereignty by preventing reliance on international policy frameworks without direct state approval.
