Adoption and foster care matters.

Summary

The bill makes it illegal for state or local agencies to treat anyone differently in adoption or foster‑care matters because of their sincerely held religious convictions, unless the action is needed to serve a compelling government interest and is the least restrictive way to do so. It also lets agencies consider matching a child's or parent’s faith with a prospective caregiver’s faith when placing a child. Affected parties can sue the government for violations, and claims must be filed within two years.
