Written by Don ByrdLast week, I posted about Kentucky House Bill 279, legislation raising the level of judicial scrutiny for government action placing a burden on religious exercise. If this bill becomes law, enforcing a law against an individual whose religious exercise is burdened by it will require the government to demonstrate a compelling interest.
On Friday the commonwealth’s House passed the measure 82-7.
Written by Don ByrdThe House Judiciary Committee of Kentucky approved legislation that would require the state to have a compelling interest to place any burden on religious exercise. This standard is even higher than federal and state RFRA bills (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) that require the burden on religion to be “substantial.”
