What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Conversion Act of 2025'', directs the United States to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. It outlines a vision for the United States to lead in the verifiable and irreversible elimination of all nuclear weapons globally. Once the President certifies that all nuclear-armed nations have begun this elimination process, specific funding shifts will occur. This funding, originally for nuclear weapons programs, will be redirected toward addressing the climate crisis and other human needs. The act also focuses on converting nuclear industry processes and retraining employees for new purposes.
