State RFRAs

State RFRAs, or Religious Freedom Restoration Acts, are laws that aim to protect individuals' and organizations' religious beliefs from government interference. They ensure that the government cannot restrict religious practices unless there’s a compelling reason and the restriction is the least restrictive means. Essentially, these laws prioritize religious freedom, allowing people to follow their religious convictions without undue burden. However, they can also impact areas like healthcare, employment, or public accommodations if religious beliefs conflict with regulations or policies. The intent is to balance religious rights with other societal interests, but their application can sometimes lead to legal debates.
