Voids and renders unenforceable any court, arbitration, or administrative agency rulings based wholly or partly on foreign law that would not grant affected parties the same fundamental constitutional liberties and rights.

Voids and renders unenforceable contractual provisions where parties agree to have disputes governed by foreign law or jurisdiction if that foreign law would not grant parties the same constitutional rights and protections.

Exempts corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and other business entities from these restrictions when they contract to subject themselves to foreign law in jurisdictions outside Minnesota and the United States.
