Lee Releases Finalized First Amendment Defense Act

WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) released the finalized version of the First Amendment Defense Act Monday. This finalized version specifies which entities and activities are protected by the bill, and which are not.
 
“Matters of conscience and culture elicit passionate feelings on both sides of the political spectrum,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said. “This finalized version of the First Amendment Defense Act, which we’ve been working with religious liberty experts on for months, makes crystal clear that we are only seeking to prevent federal government discrimination against people and institutions that define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.”
