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 key terms such as "adoption or foster care services," "discriminatory action," and "person," and establishes that the state government cannot take adverse actions against those who provide or facilitate these services in alignment with their sincerely held religious beliefs. Additionally, the bill allows for the consideration of a person's religious background when placing a child in foster or adoptive care, prioritizing placements with individuals of the same faith tradition.

Furthermore, the bill outlines remedies for individuals who believe they have faced discrimination, allowing them to assert claims against the state government within a two-year statute of limitations. Successful claims may result in various forms of relief, including compensatory damages and attorney fees. The bill emphasizes a broad protection of the free exercise of religious beliefs, ensuring that these protections are supplementary to existing federal and state laws. It also includes provisions for severability, ensuring that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining sections will still be enforceable.
