Plain-English Summary

This bill would prohibit U.S. courts from applying Islamic law (Sharia) in legal cases, even when parties voluntarily agree to it. The legislation aims to ensure that American legal proceedings follow U.S. law rather than religious legal systems, affecting anyone involved in disputes where Islamic law might otherwise be considered.
