Bill > HB1041

This bill aims to protect the fundamental rights and privileges granted under the Arkansas Constitution and the United States Constitution. It establishes that it is the public policy of the state to prevent the application of foreign laws that would violate these constitutional rights, such as the right to due process, equal protection, freedom of religion, speech, and the press, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to privacy, and the right to marry as defined by the Arkansas Constitution. The bill also invalidates contracts or contractual provisions that choose a foreign law, legal code, or system that does not uphold these constitutional rights. Additionally, the bill amends state law to prohibit contracts that waive rights protected by the Arkansas or U.S. Constitutions.
