Arizona Legislation Passes "Faith Protections Bill"—Moves to Gov. Jan Brewer's Desk for Approval or Veto"We don't want the government coming in and forcing somebody to act against their religious sacred faith beliefs or having to sell out if you are a small-business owner." -Rep. Steve Montenegro (Arizona)—Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona is once again in the spotlight as a controversial bill is heading to her desk for either approval or veto. House Bill 2153/Senate Bill 1062, otherwise known as the "Faith Protections Bill," was passed on Thursday in the state House by a 33-27 vote, and would allow the defense of religious freedom to be claimed by individuals, churches and businesses if faced with lawsuits claiming discrimination because of bias against same-sex relationships. According to an AZCentral.com report, the legislation proposes to: • Expand the state's definition of the exercise of religion to include both the practice and observance of religion. But speaking for the measure, Rep. Steve Montenegro, R-Litchfield Park noted, "We are trying to protect people's religious liberties. We don't want the government coming in and forcing somebody to act against their religious sacred faith beliefs or having to sell out if you are a small-business owner."
