State Sen. Greg Kirk Defends Religious Freedom Legislation
Friday, March 18th, 2016
The Georgia General Assembly has passed the controversial “Religious Liberty” bill, effectively tossing that political hot potato squarely in the lap of Gov. Nathan Deal.
Originally known as the Pastors Protection Act, over the past two years House Bill 757 morphed into the “Free Exercise Protection Act.” The bill states “religious officials shall not be required to perform marriage ceremonies, perform rites, or administer sacraments in violation of their legal right to free exercise of religion.”
