Missouri SB1456 establishes the Civil Liberties Defense Act, making certain foreign law-based rulings unenforceable in Missouri courts.
Missouri SB1456, known as the Civil Liberties Defense Act, aims to protect Missouri citizens from foreign law applications that conflict with state and federal constitutional rights. The act declares unenforceable any court or arbitration rulings based on foreign laws that violate due process, freedom of religion, speech, or press, and privacy rights. It also voids contractual provisions that choose foreign jurisdictions for dispute resolution if those jurisdictions' laws conflict with Missouri and U.S. constitutional rights.
