FOREIGN LAWS – Adds to existing law to establish provisions prohibiting the use of foreign laws in Idaho courts.

This bill prohibits Idaho courts from applying foreign laws that would violate fundamental rights protected by the U.S. or Idaho constitutions, such as due process, free speech, religious freedom, or marriage rights. It makes rulings, contracts, or jurisdiction clauses based on such foreign laws unenforceable, including in cases where foreign law would deny these rights. However, it explicitly excludes religious organizations from court interference in internal matters (like clergy appointments) and does not affect pre-existing contracts or entities voluntarily subject to foreign law. The law applies to all Idaho courts and parties in disputes involving foreign legal systems.
