Senate Bill 66, a “Super RFRA” that doesn’t extend any rights to LGBT people at all, would roll back the so-called “fix” legislation hastily passed last spring, and permit even greater religious discrimination by businesses and social service agencies than the so-called Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) from last year, which tarnished Indiana’s reputation and marked it as a state of intolerance.
Senate Bill 100 extends limited civil rights to LGBT people in employment, housing and public accommodations but also includes broad religious exemptions that give businesses and social service agencies permission to discriminate.
Senate Bill 344, touted as an “alternative” to SB 100 extends civil rights only to lesbian and gay Hoosiers—excluding transgender people—and also broadens the right of businesses and social service agencies to discriminate.
