MO HB768

Defines "foreign law" as any law, rule, or legal code established and used outside the states or territories of the United States.

Prohibits courts, arbitrators, administrative agencies, and other adjudicative authorities from enforcing foreign law if it would violate rights guaranteed by Missouri or U.S. constitutions.

Requires modification or amendment of contractual provisions choosing foreign law or foreign venues if enforcement would violate constitutional rights, or declares such provisions null and void if they cannot be modified.

Denies forum non conveniens claims that would violate the constitutional rights of the person opposing the claim when a natural person subject to personal jurisdiction in Missouri seeks to maintain proceedings in the state.

Does not apply to contracts where a juridical person (corporation or legal entity) is a party, and applies only to actual or foreseeable constitutional violations caused by application of foreign law.
