to Judiciary (H)
Summary
The bill creates a new state law that makes any court ruling, arbitration decision, or contract that chooses Sharia or another foreign legal system unenforceable when those laws would deny rights guaranteed by the U.S. or Kentucky constitutions. It applies to private parties but excludes internal religious matters, corporations that voluntarily opt in, and cases preempted by federal law. The measure is currently referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
