Civil Procedure - As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee Foreign Law Non-Recognition Act." - Amends TCA Title 20 and Title 29.

HB 2142, the "Tennessee Foreign Law Non-Recognition Act," prohibits Tennessee courts, arbitrators, and administrative agencies from applying foreign law if it would violate constitutional rights under the U.S. or Tennessee Constitutions. It specifically blocks rulings based on foreign legal systems that conflict with these rights, while allowing enforcement of valid foreign judgments or contracts that comply with constitutional protections. The bill also invalidates arbitration agreements requiring foreign law that would violate constitutional rights, but does not affect tribal law, federal law, or the Uniform Commercial Code. This applies directly to legal disputes involving foreign law in Tennessee courts and arbitration proceedings.
