Bill > SB2129

This bill, concerning foreign laws, authorizes courts to award attorney's fees to a party who successfully opposes the recognition or enforcement of foreign law, defining "foreign law" as any legal system other than those of the United States, its territories, other U.S. states, Native American tribal law, or Mississippi's own laws and constitution. It specifically prohibits the application of foreign law in divorce and child custody cases if it would violate fundamental rights guaranteed by the U.S. or Mississippi Constitutions, and clarifies that this chapter does not apply to business contracts entered into by Mississippi businesses that subject themselves to foreign law in jurisdictions outside of Mississippi or the United States. Furthermore, the bill prohibits any court, arbitrator, or administrative agency from enforcing any provisions of any religious code.
