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 both faith-based and non-faith-based agencies in providing these services, asserting that the state must not take adverse actions against those who operate according to their religious convictions.

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 relief, including compensatory damages and attorney fees. The bill also emphasizes that its provisions are intended to broadly protect the free exercise of religious beliefs, supplementing existing federal and state protections without preempting or narrowing other laws that may offer greater protections.
