The proposed bill aims to prohibit discriminatory actions against individuals or organizations providing adoption or foster care services based on their religious beliefs. It defines "discriminatory action" as any state government action that negatively impacts a person or organization due to their adherence to sincerely held religious beliefs in the context of adoption or foster care services. The bill emphasizes the importance of allowing both faith-based and nonfaith-based agencies to operate without fear of government retaliation, thereby ensuring a diverse range of services for children in need of placement.

Additionally, the bill establishes remedies for individuals who believe they have faced discrimination, allowing them to assert claims against the state government in judicial or administrative proceedings. It sets a statute of limitations of two years for bringing such claims and outlines potential recoveries, including compensatory damages and attorney fees. The bill also includes provisions to ensure that its protections for the free exercise of religious beliefs are broad and do not preempt or narrow existing laws that offer similar protections.
