The synopisis (note the real bill isn't much longer) Religious freedom restoration. Prohibits a governmental entity from substantially burdening a person's exercise of religion, even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless the governmental entity can demonstrate that the burden: (1) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and (2) is the least restrictive means of furthering the compelling governmental interest. Provides a procedure for remedying a violation. Specifies that the religious freedom law applies to the implementation or application of a law regardless of whether the state or any other governmental entity or official is a party to a proceeding implementing or applying the law. Prohibits an applicant, employee, or former employee from pursuing certain causes of action against a private employer. |
Right, but in a roundabout way it means that private discrimination is allowed, because that means a government entity can't force a business to serve LGBT+ individuals if they object on religious rounds, because it is the governmental entity (the police, etc) that would force compliance with non-discrimination if the issue was pressed.
