Senate Judiciary Committee’s Failure to
include civil rights amendment leaves Many Vulnerable
The Senate Judiciary Committee passed
House Bill 279, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, to the Senate floor
without an amendment for civil rights protections, despite warnings of the consequences.
American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky staff attorney William
Sharp testified before the committee. “HB 279,
as drafted, creates an impermissible risk that existing civil rights
protections would be subject to a patchwork of exemptions in a wide array of
housing and public accommodation contexts that would, in effect, undermine
those protections if not render them practically unenforceable,” shared
Sharp.
