This safeguard measures two items related to religious liberty in economic or business arrangements: first, whether a state protects for-profit businesses from providing goods or services for marriage ceremonies or wedding celebrations that violate the personally held religious or moral beliefs of the business or business owner, and second, whether an individual may opt out of joining a labor union if he or she has a religious objection to doing so.
Note on citations:
Due to changes in online law databases and states’ websites, we cannot ensure that every link to a state law will be functional in perpetuity. If a link to a statute is no longer functional, please use a search engine to locate the state’s code and use the citation number to manually navigate to the relevant law. Where multiple laws are cited, the link is for the first law listed. For more information on citations, download the full data set which includes additional research notes.
