Blocks religious freedom claims from overriding civil rights, worker, and healthcare protections.
This bill, called the "Do No Harm Act," would change the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA). It would stop RFRA from being used to get around federal laws that protect civil rights, workers, children, and access to healthcare. It also clarifies that RFRA claims can only be made against the government, not between private individuals or groups.
Today, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) broadly protects religious exercise and can be used in court against the government. If this bill passes, RFRA would no longer apply in specific situations where federal law prevents harm to others, such as laws protecting civil rights, worker benefits, child safety, and healthcare access. It would also clarify that RFRA can only be used in legal cases where the government is a party, not in disputes between private individuals or groups.
