Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
This legislation prohibits cities and counties from requiring, by ordinance or resolution, businesses or industries to operate on either of the two rest days of Saturday or Sunday. Efforts to exempt businesses contracting with a local government to provide such services as ambulance, taxi, water, sewer, etc. were soundly rejected. Additionally, no minister, cleric or religious practitioner shall be required to solemnize any marriage, perform any rite, or administer any sacrament in violation of his or her right to the free exercise of religion. |
