Mississippi HB966 aims to prohibit the application of foreign laws, including Sharia law, in Mississippi courts and to enhance penalties for acts.

Mississippi HB966, known as the "Mississippi Supremacy Clause Enforcement Act," seeks to prevent the enforcement of foreign laws, including Sharia law, in Mississippi courts. The bill voids contract provisions that apply foreign laws in disputes, particularly in matters involving marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, or inheritance. It also prohibits state government from taking discriminatory actions against individuals or organizations based on their religious beliefs or moral convictions.
