The bill, authored GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, states that the government shall not 'intentionally discriminate' on matters of federal employment, federal contracting, or other activities.

In December 2019, health officials in Taiwan alerted the World Health Organization (WHO) about the risk of human-to-human transmission of a deadly disease spreading in Wuhan, China.

Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany spearheaded the bill and was joined by Utah Rep. Burgess Owens, California Rep. Michelle Steel and Florida Rep. Bryon Donalds. “It’s pretty simple. If we are serious about ending discrimination in the United States, the first step is for the government to stop doing the discriminating,” Tiffany told the Caller before introducing the legislation. “It is long past time for the government to take its thumb off the scale and get out of the business of racial discrimination.”

On Feb. 23, Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., who represents Lac Du Flambeau's congressional district, blasted the tribe in a letter to its president John Johnson, saying the tribal council has attempted to "scapegoat" other parties and noting the tribe has received $213 million in federal funds since 2013.

Rep. Tom Tiffany, Wisconsin Republican and member of the House Natural Resources Committee, called the training a “colossal waste of time and resources.” “The Interior Department should maybe focus a little less on promoting fringe environmental fanaticism in the workplace and a little more on better land management practices and lowering prices at the pump,” he said.

Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) introduced a bill on Tuesday, co-sponsored by 14 Republicans in the House of Representatives, that would ensure the White House must recognize any World Health Organization (W.H.O.) binding international instrument on pandemics as a treaty, thus requiring Senate approval.
