Illinois HB4165 prohibits the application of Shari'a or foreign law in civil cases if it violates U.S. or Illinois Constitution rights.

Illinois HB4165, also known as the No Shari'a Act, amends the Code of Civil Procedure to declare void and unenforceable any ruling, contract, or jurisdictional grant that allows the application of Shari'a or foreign law, legal code, or system if it denies parties their fundamental liberties, rights, and privileges guaranteed under the U.S. or Illinois Constitution. It also prohibits courts, arbitration panels, tribunals, or administrative agencies from transferring civil actions if the transfer would result in the application of such laws.
