The Florida Legislature passed HB 1471, addressing the application of foreign systems of law and the designation of terrorist organizations, and it was enacted as Chapter 2026-28. A companion measure, CS/CS/HB 1473, was enacted as Chapter 2026-29.
Constitutional basis: State statute limiting foreign legal systems and designating terrorist organizations reaches into traditionally federal foreign-affairs terrain, stretching beyond ordinary state legislative practice.
