Civil Procedure - As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee Foreign Law Non-Recognition Act." - Amends TCA Title 20 and Title 29.

SB 2488, the "Tennessee Foreign Law Non-Recognition Act," prohibits Tennessee courts, arbitrators, and administrative bodies from applying foreign law if it would violate constitutional rights under the U.S. or Tennessee Constitutions. The bill specifically bans rulings based on foreign legal systems that conflict with these rights, while allowing enforcement of foreign judgments or contracts that comply with constitutional protections. It also voids arbitration agreements requiring foreign law application that would infringe on constitutional rights. The law applies to both court decisions and arbitration awards involving foreign legal principles.
