HB5036

West Virginia HB5036 prohibits non-enacted legal systems from being applied in the state and bans parallel judicial systems.

West Virginia HB5036 aims to protect the sovereignty of law and judicial authority within the state. It prohibits arbitrators, mediators, and other adjudicative bodies from applying or enforcing any law, rule, or legal doctrine not enacted by the U.S. Congress, the West Virginia Legislature, or the state's common law. The bill also bans parallel or alternative judicial systems from exercising authority over individuals or matters within the state. It invalidates contracts and arbitration agreements that violate constitutional protections or restrict access to state courts.
