This bill directs the Secretary of State to develop and implement a strategy to relocate the United Nations headquarters from New York to an alternative location within the United States. The Secretary must identify potential U.S. locations based on criteria to be determined, negotiate with the U.N. to renegotiate the 1947 agreement that established the current New York headquarters, and work toward Senate ratification of any revised agreement. The bill requires the Secretary to move forward with implementation as quickly as possible and report to Congress with a timeline and next steps once the strategy is developed. No specific funding amount is allocated in the legislation, and it does not specify which U.S. locations should be considered as alternatives.
