GovInfo lists H.R. 9567, sponsored by Rep. Keith Self, as introduced June 30, 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The bill would bar federal courts and adjudicative bodies from recognizing or enforcing foreign or religious law that conflicts with the U.S. Constitution or federal law.
Assessments
Keith Self took direct same-term federal action aligned with the promise by introducing H.R. 9567 and H. Con. Res. 116, both aimed at rejecting Sharia or competing religious/foreign legal frameworks and affirming constitutional supremacy. However, the cited measures were only introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence they were enacted, adopted, or otherwise produced a binding federal outcome. That supports partial credit for a serious legislative effort, not full delivery.
