Establishes the "Missouri Religious Freedom Protection Act"
Maddy summaryThis bill creates the Missouri Religious Freedom Protection Act to prevent public officials from issuing orders that stop religious groups or their places of worship from holding services or meetings. It specifically protects these groups from restrictions related to public health mandates or other government directives, while explicitly allowing buildings to follow standard fire and safety codes. The law includes exceptions for situations involving imminent dangers like natural disasters or terrorist threats, as well as cases where a religious group plans to commit acts of violence or harm.
