Bill > SB2488

This bill, known as the "Tennessee Foreign Law Non-Recognition Act," prohibits Tennessee courts, arbitration panels, administrative agencies, or any other tribunals from applying or enforcing any foreign law, legal code, or system if doing so would violate rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution or the Tennessee Constitution. It clarifies that this does not prevent the recognition of foreign judgments or contracts that already comply with constitutional protections, nor does it affect the application of tribal law, federal law, or the Uniform Commercial Code. Additionally, the bill states that arbitration awards will not be confirmed or enforced in Tennessee if they are based on foreign law that would violate constitutional rights, and any arbitration agreement provision requiring such application of foreign law is considered void and unenforceable.
