AL HB607

Proposes a constitutional amendment known as the "American and Alabama Laws for Alabama Courts Amendment" to prohibit Alabama courts from applying foreign law in ways that violate constitutional rights of natural citizens.

Courts, arbitrators, administrative agencies, and other authorities cannot apply or enforce foreign law if doing so would violate Alabama or United States Constitution or state law, including rights to due process, freedom of religion, speech, assembly, press, privacy, or marriage.

Contractual provisions choosing foreign law or foreign venues must be modified or voided if enforcement would violate constitutional rights; courts must deny forum non conveniens claims if they would violate the rights of the person opposing the claim.

Amendment does not apply to corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, business associations, or other legal entities that voluntarily contract to subject themselves to foreign law in jurisdictions outside Alabama and the United States.

Requires statewide election in accordance with constitutional procedures, with ballot language describing the amendment as prohibiting foreign law application in violation of guaranteed rights, without application to business entities.
