MI HB5516

Prohibits Michigan courts, arbitrators, and administrative bodies from applying or enforcing foreign law provisions if doing so would violate constitutional rights of state residents or affected parties.

Defines "foreign law" broadly to include laws from jurisdictions outside U.S. states and territories, international organizations, religious organizations, and treaties, while explicitly excluding federal and state laws.

Requires courts to refuse enforcement, modify provisions to eliminate violations, or void provisions entirely when foreign law would result in constitutional rights violations.

Mandates courts consider whether foreign law application would impair constitutional rights, whether parties voluntarily agreed without duress, and state public policy against discrimination based on sex, race, religion, or other protected characteristics.

Applies only prospectively to agreements entered into after the act's effective date and does not override existing laws prohibiting foreign law enforcement.
