What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "UNtaxed Act," aims 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 entities unless approved by the Senate through a treaty. Additionally, it restricts the use of U.S. funds for contributions or enforcement related to a global carbon tax. The bill defines a global carbon tax as a tax under a global fuel regime requiring vessel operators to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at set costs.
