Do No Harm Act

Bill 119 HR 1954, also known as the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act Amendment," aims to make changes to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 in order to protect civil rights and prevent harm to third parties. The bill seeks to strike a balance between religious freedom and the rights of individuals who may be affected by religious practices.

The main goal of the bill is to ensure that religious freedom is not used as a justification for discrimination or harm to others. It aims to clarify that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act does not override laws that protect civil rights, such as those prohibiting discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or other factors.

The bill also includes provisions to prevent harm to third parties, such as ensuring that religious exemptions do not infringe on the rights of others or cause harm to public health and safety. It seeks to protect individuals from being denied services or discriminated against based on their identity or beliefs. Overall, the bill aims to uphold the principles of religious freedom while also safeguarding the rights and well-being of all individuals, regardless of their beliefs or background. It seeks to strike a balance between religious freedom and civil rights, ensuring that both are protected and respected in society.
