Time sensitive alert.
Supporting religious freedom should be paramount because it’s a fundamental right every American enjoys and must not be infringed. SB 377, the Preservation of Religious Freedom Act, introduced by Sen. Josh McKoon (R-Columbus) is a bill to guarantee the free exercise of religion in Georgia without interference from the government. One of our core issues is religious freedom for all; the right to practice or observe their religious beliefs without suffering economic loss and relinquishment of civil rights in courts, employment, etc.
SB 377 passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee but is being held up by the Senate Rules Committee. This committee controls what bills go to the full Senate for a vote. Monday, March 3, is Crossover Day, the last day for bills to cross over to the other chamber. SB 377 must get the Senate floor on Monday, or it is dead legislation.
