Washington, July 24 -- Representative Blake Moore issued the following press release:
Congressman Blake Moore's legislation to protect religious beliefs and practices and preserve the tax-exempt status of faith-based organizations passed the Ways and Means Committee (https://waysandmeans.house.gov/).
The Fair Treatment of Religious Organizations Act ensures that faith-based organizations can continue applying religious standards to employees without jeopardizing their eligibility for federal funding and contracts. The legislation prevents federal agencies from conditioning tax benefits or funding eligibility on a religious organization's willingness to modify its positions on marriage, sexuality, or gender identity.
