A bill for an act relating to the application of foreign law and limiting changes in venue of civil actions, and including applicability provisions.

Summary

The bill stops Iowa courts, arbitration panels, tribunals, and administrative agencies from transferring or deciding civil cases that would require applying foreign law that infringes U.S. or Iowa constitutional freedoms. It also makes any rulings, contracts, or jurisdiction clauses that rely on such foreign law unenforceable. The goal is to protect fundamental rights from being overridden by foreign legal systems.
