Bill > HB3346

This bill, titled the "No Shari'a Act," aims to prevent the application and enforcement of foreign laws, legal codes, and systems within the state of Missouri. It explicitly states that international organizations like the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum have no jurisdiction or power in Missouri, and their rules, regulations, policies, or mandates cannot be enforced. The bill defines "foreign law" broadly to include any law, legal framework, code, or system, including religious law when used instead of state or federal law, originating from outside the United States. It also defines "fundamental rights" as those guaranteed by the Missouri and U.S. Constitutions, such as due process, equal protection, and freedom of speech. The core provision prohibits Shari'a law or any foreign law that denies these fundamental rights, rendering related court rulings, arbitration decisions, contracts, or contractual provisions void and unenforceable. Furthermore, no court will enforce judgments or contracts that rely on such foreign laws if they violate fundamental rights, particularly in matters of marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, or inheritance. However, the bill includes exceptions, stating it does not affect existing Missouri Supreme Court precedents, limit the adjudication of internal religious matters for religious organizations, apply to entities that voluntarily submit to foreign law, or override situations where federal law preempts state law. Finally, it prohibits state courts from transferring civil actions if such a transfer would lead to the application of foreign law that violates fundamental rights.
