Montana’s state Senate gave initial approval to bill that prevents judges from applying foreign laws in state courtrooms.

Senate Bill 97 passed 28-21 on Thursday. Four Republicans joined all 17 Democrats in opposing the measure. It will be voted on again before transmitting to the state House of Representatives.

The bill by Republican Sen. Keith Regier of Kalispell does not mention Sharia law, which is used in some parts of the Islamic world, but that has been the focus of debate on the proposal.
