HB 1805 would prohibit the state from taking adverse action against a child welfare services provider on the basis that the provider declines to provide a child care service that conflicts with the “sincerely held” religious beliefs of the provider.
The state would not be able to discriminate or take any adverse action against a child welfare services provider on the basis, wholly or partly, that the provider:
A child welfare services provider may assert an actual or threatened violation of this law as a claim or defense in a judicial or administrative proceeding and obtain the appropriate relief.
If passed, the bill would allow child adoption and foster placement agencies the right to discriminate in, or refuse, the services they offer (such as child placement) to LGBTQ families and children.
