No Taxpayer Funding for the World Health Organization Act
HR 401, the "No Taxpayer Funding for the World Health Organization Act," prohibits the U.S. government from providing any assessed or voluntary contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO) starting on the day the bill becomes law. This directly affects the WHO, which would lose U.S. funding through these specific channels, and the U.S. government, which would no longer allocate taxpayer money for this purpose. The key mechanism is a statutory ban that overrides existing law, requiring immediate cessation of such payments without needing additional authorization. The bill does not impact other U.S. international health programs or the WHO's broader operations.
