I posted both texts because several people addressed some concern that the reintroduced bill would have changed in some way to make it radically different than the original bill.
I read that thing twice and still don’t understand what it means exactly.
I'll link to this article but here is a brief statement of this bills intent.
“Unfortunately, in recent years, bad faith interpretations of RFRA have been used to deny health care coverage for employees, claim exemptions to civil rights laws and impede justice in child labor and abuse cases,” Rep. Scott said in a statement.
Sen. Harris, in a similar statement, said religious freedom, which is guaranteed in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, should not come at the expense of others.
“That First Amendment guarantee should never be used to undermine other Americans’ civil rights or subject them to discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity,” Harris stated.
