Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects

No UN taxes on U.S. persons
This bill would stop the United Nations and its affiliated bodies from levying any tax, tariff, fee, or penalty on U.S. citizens or U.S. companies. That protection would only not apply if the charge is imposed under an agreement that is in effect for the United States and the Senate has given advice and consent to ratify it. The restriction would take effect upon enactment.
Blocks UN ship carbon tax funding
If enacted, the bill would bar federal funds from being used for U.S. assessed or voluntary contributions to the U.N. or its bodies that would be used to impose a defined "global carbon tax." It would also bar federal funds for implementing or enforcing such a global carbon tax. The bill defines "global carbon tax" narrowly as a tax under a global fuel regime that requires vessel owners or operators to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that sets costs tied to emission levels.
