Gov. Sam Brownback signs bill blocking use of Islamic law in Kansas

Gov. Sam Brownback has signed into law a bill aimed at keeping Kansas courts and government agencies from basing decisions on Islamic or other foreign legal codes. - Kansas City Star

Brownback’s office notified the Senate of his action Friday, but he actually signed the measure Monday. The new law will take effect in July.

Muslim groups had urged him to veto the measure, arguing it promotes discrimination. Supporters say it simply restates American values.
