This legislation, commonly known as “American Laws for American Courts”, would prohibit Florida courts from considering certain provisions of foreign laws, including Islamic Sharia law, if such provisions are inconsistent with the Florida and United States of America Constitutions. If Florida courts accept provisions of Islamic Sharia law or other foreign laws or legal codes which are inconsistent with American laws it will undermine public policies enacted by our representative form of government and change our value system. Application of Foreign Law in Certain Cases: Defines foreign law, legal code, or system; specifies public policy on application of foreign law, legal code, or system in proceedings relating to dissolution of marriage, support, time-sharing, UCCJEA, & UIFSA; provides that certain decisions rendered under such laws, codes, or systems are void; provides that certain contracts & contract provisions are void; provides for construction of waiver by natural person of persons fundamental liberties, rights, & privileges guaranteed by state or federal constitutions; provides that claims of forum non conveniens or related claims must be denied; provides that act doesnt require or authorize court to adjudicate, or prohibit any religious organization from adjudicating, ecclesiastical matters in violation of specified constitutional provisions or to conflict with any federal treaty or other international agreement to which U.S. is party to specified extent. Full text of SB 386. A vote by the full Florida House of Representatives on HB 903 Application of Foreign Law in Certain Cases is pending. *(Personal note: Just shows you the mentality of democrats with respect to NOT supporting our constitution and the laws that govern us as Americans. This is also another scheme democrats are using to encourage a potentially large voting block of Muslims to register as democrats, as amnesty is for illegal aliens.)
