Tennessee blocks mandates from international groups
Beginning July 1, 2025, the World Health Organization, United Nations, and World Economic Forum have no jurisdiction in Tennessee. Their mandates have no legal force in the state. State and local governments cannot be forced to enforce these mandates or help enforce them. The mandates cannot serve as a basis for government action or collecting public or private information about residents. They also cannot justify requirements that conflict with Tennessee’s constitution or laws, including masks, vaccines, or medical testing. These limits cover all local governments, including public corporations, authorities, districts, and their agencies, departments, and boards.
