Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act

The Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is a law that protects individuals and organizations from certain government actions that substantially burden their religious beliefs. It aims to ensure people can practice their faith freely, even when such practices might conflict with laws or regulations. Essentially, it requires the government to justify any law that restricts religious exercise and establish that the restriction is the least restrictive means of achieving a compelling government interest. Critics argue it could be used to justify discrimination, while supporters see it as protecting religious liberty.
