Red County blogger Richard Swier writesthat the controversial anti-Muslim group ACT! for America sent out the following press release about Hays’ bill: #
The American and Florida Laws for Florida Courts (anti-Shariah Legislation) has been filed in the Florida Legislature. We have sponsors in both the House and the Senate. #
The purpose of American and Florida Laws for Florida Courts is to preserve the sovereignty of the US and Florida and their respective Constitutions by preventing the encroachment of foreign laws and legal systems, such as Shariah law, that run counter to our individual constitutional liberties and freedoms.#
“This bill is much needed to stop the spread of Sharia in Florida,” Swierwrites. #
The summary of the bill says the law “specifies the public policy of this state in applying the choice of a foreign law, legal code, or system under certain circumstances.” #
More on this to come. #
