| This legislation prohibits the state and local governments from "substantially burdening a person's exercise of religion" (even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability) unless said burden is in furtherance of a "compelling government interest". Those burdened may sue. Please note that religion is not defined. ACCG is watching this bill closely to ensure that it does not unduly subject counties to costly, unending litigation regarding their policies or employment practices. |
