AN ACT
To amend the American Indian Religious Freedom Act to
provide for the traditional use of peyote by Indians for
religious purposes, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘American Indian
Religious Freedom Act Amendments of 1994’’.
SEC. 2. TRADITIONAL INDIAN RELIGIOUS USE OF THE
PEYOTE SACRAMENT.
The Act of August 11, 1978 (42 U.S.C. 1996), com-
monly referred to as the ‘‘American Indian Religious Free-
dom Act’’, is amended by adding at the end thereof the
following new section:
‘‘SEC. 3. (a) The Congress finds and declares that—
‘‘(1) for many Indian people, the traditional
ceremonial use of the peyote cactus as a religious
sacrament has for centuries been integral to a way
of life, and significant in perpetuating Indian tribes
and cultures;
‘‘(2) since 1965, this ceremonial use of peyote
by Indians has been protected by Federal regulation;
‘‘(3) while at least 28 States have enacted laws
which are similar to, or are in conformance with, the
Federal regulation which protects the ceremonial use
of peyote by Indian religious practitioners, 22 States
have not done so, and this lack of uniformity has
created hardship for Indian people who participate
in such religious ceremonies;
‘‘(4) the Supreme Court of the United States,
in the case of Employment Division v. Smith, 494
U.S. 872 (1990), held that the First Amendment
does not protect Indian practitioners who use peyote
in Indian religious ceremonies, and also raised un-
certainty whether this religious practice would be
protected under the compelling State interest stand-
ard; and
‘‘(5) the lack of adequate and clear legal protec-
tion for the religious use of peyote by Indians may
serve to stigmatize and marginalize Indian tribes
and cultures, and increase the risk that they will be
exposed to discriminatory treatment.
‘‘(b)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
the use, possession, or transportation of peyote by an In-
dian for bona fide traditional ceremonial purposes in con-
nection with the practice of a traditional Indian religion
is lawful, and shall not be prohibited by the United States
or any State. No Indian shall be penalized or discrimi-
nated against on the basis of such use, possession or
transportation, including, but not limited to, denial of oth-
erwise applicable benefits under public assistance pro-
grams.
‘‘(2) This section does not prohibit such reasonable
regulation and registration by the Drug Enforcement Ad-
ministration of those persons who cultivate, harvest, or
distribute peyote as may be consistent with the purposes
of this Act.
‘‘(3) This section does not prohibit application of the
provisions of section 481.111(a) of Vernon’s Texas Health
