What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "UNtaxed Act," seeks to limit the implementation and enforcement of a global carbon tax regarding the United States. It prohibits the United Nations or its affiliated bodies from levying taxes, tariffs, fees, or penalties on U.S. citizens or companies unless there is an existing agreement ratified by the Senate. Additionally, the bill prevents the authorization or availability of U.S. funds for contributions or implementation related to a global carbon tax. A global carbon tax is defined as a tax under a global fuel regime that requires vessel operators to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at set costs.
