HB 757, the Free Exercise Protection Act, authored by Representative Kevin Tanner, was introduced originally as the Pastor Protection Act and passed from the House. The Senate amended this bill to include comprehensive language from the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) and passed it. The House then amended the Senate’s substitute by paring back some of the FADA language and adding language from Senator Josh McKoon’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The resulting bill is one of the most robust religious liberty protections in the entire nation.
