Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius

Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius (2014) was a Supreme Court case where Hobby Lobby, a religious-owned craft store chain, challenged a federal health law requiring employers to provide certain contraceptive coverage. The store argued this violated their religious beliefs. The Court agreed, ruling that closely held private companies could claim religious exemptions from this mandate under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. This decision highlighted balancing religious rights with health regulations, allowing some businesses to refuse certain contraception coverage on religious grounds without penalty.
