HB 2175 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HB 2175, titled the "No Shari'a Act," prohibits Missouri courts, arbitration panels, and agencies from enforcing contracts or rulings based on foreign law (including Shari'a law) that conflict with U.S. or Missouri constitutional rights. It specifically voids court decisions, contracts requiring foreign law, and jurisdiction transfers to foreign tribunals if they deny fundamental liberties. The bill excludes religious matters (like clergy selection), voluntary corporate agreements with foreign law, and cases where federal law preempts state law. It directly affects parties in legal disputes involving foreign law, courts, and arbitrators within Missouri.
