Plain-language summary
Designates the International Renewable Energy Agency as a public international organization under the International Organizations Immunities Act, making it eligible for the privileges, exemptions, and immunities that law provides. The designation does not reduce any privileges, exemptions, or immunities the organization already has or may later acquire under other law. The order also clarifies that it does not change the legal authority of any federal department or agency, does not affect the Office of Management and Budget's role in budget and legislative matters, must be carried out consistent with existing law and available funding, and does not create any new legal rights or benefits enforceable against the United States.
