Utah's existing Religious Freedom Restoration Act already prohibits government from substantially burdening a person's religious practice unless the government can show a compelling reason and uses the least restrictive means possible. This bill strengthens that law in two ways: it explicitly states that the government gives up its usual legal shield (called governmental immunity) when someone sues under the religious freedom law, and it spells out that a person who wins such a case can pursue the full range of legal remedies — including money damages, court orders stopping the offending action, and formal declarations of their rights.
