MissouriCreates the "No Shari'a Act" relating to the enforceability of certain foreign laws
What it does
This act creates the "No Shari'a Act". No court shall enforce a judgment, decree, or arbitration decision if it relies on Shari'a or any foreign law that violates the constitutional rights of any party.
