(UNDATED) - Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act will finally go into effect today.
The bill, as originally written, allowed private businesses to refuse customers based on their "religious beliefs," which could essentially legalize discrimination against LGBTQ Hoosiers.
The state legislature amended the law in April to clarify that the law "bars discrimination based on race, color, religion, ancestry, age, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or U.S. military service."
