SB263 bans Tennessee state and local government entities from enforcing or recognizing any mandates or requirements from the World Health Organization, United Nations, or World Economic Forum. It ensures that international organizations cannot impose policies—such as mask mandates, vaccination rules, medical testing, or data collection—within the state’s jurisdiction. The bill asserts that any such directives have no legal authority in Tennessee or its political subdivisions.
The Tennessee State House of Representatives passed SB263 on April 17, 2025 by a vote of 73 to 24. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the U.S. Constitution, under Article VI, is the supreme law of the land, and international bodies such as the WHO, UN, or WEF have no lawful authority over the American people. These globalist entities promote policies—such as Agenda 2030—that undermine U.S. and state sovereignty. States not only have the right, but the duty to resist and nullify unconstitutional mandates, especially those originating from foreign organizations.
