H.R. 903 aims to stop U.S. financial support for the Preparatory Commission of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). The bill says a 2016 UN Security Council resolution does not bind the United States to the treaty’s goals. It allows funding only for the CTBTO’s International Monitoring System, which tracks nuclear tests worldwide.

Key Provisions

  • Declares that UN Security Council Resolution 2310 does not create a legal obligation for the United States regarding the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
  • Prohibits any U.S. funds from being provided to the Preparatory Commission for the CTBTO.
  • Makes an exception permitting U.S. funding for the CTBTO’s International Monitoring System.
