SCS/SB 370 - This act establishes the compelling interest
test as the burden the state has in restricting the free exercise
of religion. No governmental authority may restrict a person's
free exercise of religion unless the restriction is one of
general applicability and furthers a compelling governmental
interest in the least restrictive means.
