FL S1294

Creates section 45.022 of Florida Statutes to establish public policy against application of foreign law that does not grant fundamental constitutional liberties and rights equivalent to those in the Florida and U.S. Constitutions.

Voids and renders unenforceable any court, arbitration, or administrative ruling that applies foreign law failing to provide due process, freedom of religion/speech/press, privacy rights, or marriage rights as defined by state and federal constitutions.

Voids and renders unenforceable contract provisions selecting foreign law or legal systems for dispute resolution if that law would deny parties the same fundamental liberties and constitutional rights afforded under Florida and U.S. Constitutions.

Requires courts to deny forum non conveniens claims and preserve contractual provisions designating out-of-state or foreign venues if enforcing them would violate constitutional rights of natural persons subject to Florida jurisdiction.

Exempts corporations, partnerships, and other business associations from the statute's application, and applies only to violations of natural persons' constitutional rights.
