The 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 both faith-based and non-faith-based agencies in providing these services and asserts that the state government cannot discriminate against individuals who guide or raise children according to their religious beliefs, while still allowing for consideration of a child's religious background during placement.

Additionally, the bill establishes remedies for individuals who experience discrimination, allowing them to assert claims against the state government in judicial or administrative proceedings within a two-year statute of limitations. Successful claims may result in various forms of relief, including compensatory damages and attorney fees. The bill also ensures that its provisions are interpreted broadly to protect the free exercise of religious beliefs, while clarifying that it does not preempt or repeal existing laws that offer greater protections for religious freedom.
