If anyone bothered to actually read the bill, they would find out that this must be the first time that the Democrats acted in a pro-business manner. What the bill does is make Florida “public policy” (open ended) supersede the provisions of private contracts. Thus any contract that a Florida business enters into with a foreign concern can be declared unenforceable if the state of Florida does not like the foreign law referenced in the contract. The consequence is that a company in Germany for example would be wary in engaging in any contract with a Florida business. Foreign law is regularly referenced in civil courts to settle disputes in international trade. I guess the knee jerkers in Florida will find out the consequences in the unemployment line.

Sounds like Democrat talking points.

I doubt there would be interference with business contracts. If the contract specified that German, French, Brazilian, or Japanese, ect, civil law governed I think it unlikely that reciprocity would not be granted.

On the other hand, ecclesiastical law - which sharia is - can not trump Florida and U.S. civil law. For example, you can not stone to death a rape victim or behead a person who criticizes islam.
