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 act prohibits Iowa courts, arbitrators, tribunals, and agencies from transferring civil cases or enforcing decisions that would apply foreign law violating U.S. or Iowa constitutional rights. It also makes any contract provision that chooses foreign law or foreign jurisdiction void if it would deny those rights, with several narrow exceptions. The measure applies to actions and agreements that begin after the law takes effect.
