The controversial religious protection bill referred to as the “Save Chick-fil-A” bill has been revived in the Texas state legislature and is now on the verge of reaching the governor’s desk. After the state Senate passed the measure last week without prior notification (they did not give the public an opportunity to comment on the legislation), the Texas House of Representatives passed the bill along party lines Monday.
The bill, which bars the government from taking any adverse actions against any individuals or places of business due to their “religious beliefs” or “moral convictions,” was originally drawn up in response to a San Antonio City Council’s vote to ban the fast food chain Chick-fil-A from opening a location in the city’s airport.
