Bill overview
The HALT Act of 2020 aims to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons by prohibiting the obligation or spending of funds on explosive nuclear weapons tests that produce a yield unless the President details changes to the U.S. nuclear stockpile and Congress approves the test. The bill also establishes a policy for the United States to lead international efforts towards arms reduction and disarmament, emphasizing a ‘nuclear freeze’ movement. It seeks to extend existing treaties and negotiate new agreements with nuclear-weapon states to limit nuclear weapons and delivery systems.
