Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Conversion Act of 2025

The Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Conversion Act of 2025 would push the United States to engage with the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) and, under certain conditions, to dismantle its own nuclear weapons program and redirect those resources. The bill frames a policy goal for U.S. leadership to sign the TPNW and to ratify it only after there is verifiable and irreversible elimination of all nuclear weapons worldwide. Once the President certifies that other nuclear-armed countries have begun such elimination, the act would require the President to transfer funding from nuclear weapons programs to climate-related work (notably clean energy) and to broader human-infrastructure needs (health care, housing, education, agriculture, environmental restoration, and long-term radioactive waste monitoring). The effort also includes a mandate to promote policies to encourage other nations to join these commitments. In short, the bill seeks to in effect end the U.S. nuclear weapons program and repurpose its resources toward climate action and social needs, coordinated with a global push toward disarmament under the TPNW.
