Plain-language summary

Beta

This resolution would put the Kentucky Senate on record condemning Sharia law and declaring that United States and Kentucky law take precedence over foreign law. It is a symbolic statement and would not create new enforceable rules or change existing statutes. Because it is a resolution rather than a bill, it expresses the Senate's position but does not carry the force of law. Who it may affect: Kentucky residents and communities with ties to foreign legal traditions, particularly Muslim Kentuckians given the resolution's specific reference to Sharia law.
