HB 2106 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Voids any contracts or court decisions that rely on foreign or Shari'a law

This bill (HB 2106) prohibits Missouri courts and contracts from enforcing Shari'a law or other foreign legal systems that would violate constitutional rights. It specifically voids court decisions, arbitration rulings, or contract clauses relying on such laws, while exempting religious organizations' internal matters (like clergy selection) and agreements covered by federal treaties. The bill does not restrict property purchases by religious groups, as the title incorrectly suggests; its focus is on legal applications in courts and contracts. It applies to state courts and contracts within Missouri, with limited exceptions for religious governance and federal obligations. The bill is currently in early legislative stages (prefiled and read first time in 2025-2026).
