The Arizona Legislature passed Senate Bill 1018 along partisan lines in June, with the Republican majority supporting it.SB 1018 sought to define Sharia law as a foreign law, ensuring that Arizona courts and other authorities do not enforce it when it conflicts with state and federal laws.The bill also expanded the foreign law definition to include foreign religious or cultural laws, customs and practices that allow honor killings, coerced marriages, illegal child marriages, female genital mutilation, child abuse and other conduct that violates state law.This would have prevented these practices from overriding state and federal law if they came into conflict.In her veto letter of SB 1018, Hobbs said, “Sharia law, and the abhorrent practices found within it, do not and will not exist in Arizona.”She added that “Sharia law has already been outlawed by existing statute at the state and federal levels.”“The practical effects of this unconstitutional legislation will be a lawsuit that the state of Arizona will lose, costing taxpayers millions of dollars,” Hobbs said
