Bill > HB2106

This bill, known as the "No Shari'a Act," prohibits the application of Shari'a law or any foreign legal system in Missouri courts and legal proceedings if such application would deny fundamental constitutional rights. Specifically, the bill renders void any court ruling, arbitration decision, or contract provision that chooses Shari'a law or a foreign legal system that might infringe upon rights guaranteed by the U.S. or Missouri Constitution. The bill includes important exceptions, such as not limiting ecclesiastical matters for religious organizations, not applying to voluntary corporate agreements with foreign courts, and not interfering with federal law or international treaties. The legislation aims to ensure that legal proceedings and contracts in Missouri are governed by U.S. and state constitutional principles, with a particular focus on preventing the application of foreign legal frameworks that might contradict fundamental American legal rights and protections.
