Requires Senate approval for the U.S. to join or fund international climate agreements.
This bill would require the Senate to approve any international climate agreement, like the Paris Agreement, before the U.S. can join or rejoin it. It would also block federal money from being used for these agreements without Senate approval. This changes how the President can make such deals, giving the Senate a direct say.
Today, the President can enter international climate agreements without Senate approval, and federal funds can be used to carry them out. If this bill became law, the U.S. could only join or rejoin such agreements, including those like the Paris Agreement, if the Senate first approved them as treaties. Federal money could not be spent on these agreements without that Senate approval.
