KANSAS SB175
This
bill is to protect religious groups from infiltration and hijacking by people
who do not adhere to the faith and religious beliefs of that group.
Kansas:
The state House of Representatives voted 81-41-3 Wednesday in favor of SB
175, which had already passed in the Senate last year by an even larger
margin and now heads to Gov. Sam Brownback’s desk for his signature. If signed
into law, the measure would prohibit public colleges and universities
from taking punitive action against religious student organizations that impose
membership requirements related to their stated beliefs, specifically
authorizing such groups to require that members adhere to and comply with the
association’s sincerely held religious beliefs, including any related standards
of conduct.
