MO HB757

Enacts the "Civil Liberties Defense Act" as public policy to protect Missouri citizens from application of foreign laws that violate constitutional rights including due process, freedom of religion, speech, press, and privacy rights.

Voids and makes unenforceable any court, arbitration, or administrative ruling that applies foreign law denying parties the same fundamental liberties and rights guaranteed by U.S. and Missouri constitutions.

Voids and makes unenforceable contractual provisions choosing foreign law or foreign jurisdiction to govern disputes if the chosen law would deny parties constitutional rights and protections.

Prohibits Missouri courts from granting forum non conveniens claims if doing so would violate the fundamental rights of a Missouri resident in a foreign forum with respect to the disputed matter.

Exempts corporations, partnerships, LLCs, and other business entities from the act's provisions and preserves religious organizations' rights to adjudicate ecclesiastical matters without court interference.
