Died in Intergovernmental Affairs Subcommittee; Companion bill(s) passed, see CS/CS/HB 803 (Ch. 2026-63)
Summary
The measure creates new state statutes that forbid counties, cities and special districts from adopting or enforcing ordinances that substantially burden the free exercise of religion, including restrictions on where services can be held or on parking for attendees. It also bars local governments from regulating mutual‑benefit corporations and limits certain local building‑permit requirements. The goal is to provide uniform statewide protection for religious activities and to centralize regulation of specific nonprofit entities.
