HB 85 formally declares that three specific international bodies — the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and the World Health Organization — have no legal authority in Utah, and prohibits the state, all state agencies, and local governments from implementing or enforcing any rule, resolution, tax, policy, or mandate issued by those organizations. The bill also amends Utah's emergency management laws to bar the governor and local chief executive officers from declaring a state of emergency solely because one of those international organizations has declared one first. In practice, this means Utah and its local governments could not act on guidance from the World Health Organization during a future global health crisis — such as a pandemic — unless state or local officials independently determined that a genuine emergency existed within Utah.
