H.J.Res.1040

Oklahoma HJR1040 proposes a constitutional amendment to prevent courts from using international or Sharia law.

Oklahoma HJR1040 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Section 1, Article 7 of the Oklahoma Constitution. It mandates that courts rely on federal and state law when deciding cases. The amendment explicitly forbids courts from considering or using international law, also known as the law of nations. It also prohibits courts from using Sharia law. International law deals with the conduct of international organizations and independent nations, such as countries, states, and tribes, and their relationships with each other.
