Iowa HF2554 prohibits courts from applying foreign law that violates constitutional rights and limits venue changes in civil actions.

Iowa HF2554 aims to prevent courts from applying foreign law that denies fundamental liberties, rights, or privileges guaranteed by the U.S. or Iowa Constitutions. It also voids contracts or provisions that select foreign law resulting in such denials. The bill prohibits transferring civil actions to venues where foreign law would violate constitutional rights. It does not overturn existing court precedents, limit religious organization adjudications, apply to entities voluntarily subject to foreign law, or apply when federal law preempts state law.
