Four state senators and two state representatives from Cobb County have thrown support behind "religious liberty" bills this legislative session.
Sen. Judson Hill (R-Marietta), Sen. Bruce Thompson (R-White), Sen. Hunter Hill and Sen. Lindsey Tippins (R-Marietta) have co-authored the controversial "Georgia Religious Freedom Restoration Act". Read more about SB 129 here.
Supporters of the bill cast it as a new line of defense to protect people of any religion from interference. Opponents warn it could allow business owners to cite religious beliefs to deny people service.
Rep. Ed Setzler (R-Acworth) and Rep. Rich Golick (R-Smyrna) have co-authored a bill that simply says that the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, passed in 1993, applies across Georgia. Read more about HB 837 here.
