Utah could strengthen religious freedom protections in a significant way during the current legislative session, with the passage of a state version of a “religious freedom restoration act.”

Sen. Todd Weiler joins host Nic Dunn to discuss Senate Bill 150 Exercise of Religion Amendments, which would create a higher standard in the law to prevent undue restriction of religious liberties.

Sutherland Constitutional Law and Religious Freedom Fellow Bill Duncan then joins the discussion to respond to criticisms of the bill and make the case for why this kind of law is the right approach for Utah.
