Introduced
Summary
Removes federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act protection from the District of Columbia. This bill would amend the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 by striking the phrase "the District of Columbia" from the list of covered jurisdictions. That change would mean RFRA would not apply in Washington, D.C., so people, businesses, and courts there could not rely on RFRA's protections or remedies. The bill does not create new funding, programs, eligibility rules, sunsets, or tax provisions.
