U.S. Judge To Hear Anti-1523 Arguments

On Monday, a federal judge will hear arguments over challenges to a law that many are labeling discriminatory. House Bill 15-23 or the religious accommodations act will become law July first unless it is blocked by U.S. district judge “Carlton Reeves”. Four lawsuits say the measure in unconstitutional arguing it denies equal protection to the LGBT community. The suits also claim it favors some religious beliefs over others. Lawyers arguing to have the law repealed say it could affect not only marriage licenses, but adoptions, business practices, and school bathroom policies.
