AN ACT
To protect the free exercise of religion.
103D CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
H. R. 1308
AN ACT
To protect the free exercise of religion.
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 ‘‘Religious Freedom
Restoration Act of 1993’’.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF
PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds—
(1) the framers of the American Constitution,
recognizing 
free 
exercise 
of 
religion 
as 
an
unalienable right, secured its protection in the First
Amendment to the Constitution;
(2) laws ‘‘neutral’’ toward religion may burden
religious exercise as surely as laws intended to
interfere with religious exercise;
(3) governments should not burden religious ex-
ercise without compelling justification;
(4) in Employment Division of Oregon v. Smith
the Supreme Court virtually eliminated the require-
ment that the government justify burdens on reli-
gious exercise imposed by laws neutral toward
religion; and
(5) the compelling interest test as set forth in
Sherbert v. Verner and Wisconsin v. Yoder is a
workable test for striking sensible balances between
religious liberty and competing governmental inter-
ests.
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are—
(1) to restore the compelling interest test as set
forth in Federal court cases before Employment Di-
vision of Oregon v. Smith and to guarantee its appli-
cation in all cases where free exercise of religion is
burdened; and
(2) to provide a claim or defense to persons
whose religious exercise is burdened by government.
SEC. 3. FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION PROTECTED.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Government shall not burden a
person’s exercise of religion even if the burden results
from a rule of general applicability, except as provided in
subsection (b).
(b) EXCEPTION.—Government may burden a per-
son’s exercise of religion only if it demonstrates that appli-
cation of the burden to the person—
(1) furthers a compelling governmental interest;
and
(2) is the least restrictive means of furthering
that compelling governmental interest.
(c) JUDICIAL RELIEF.—A person whose religious ex-
ercise has been burdened in violation of this section may
assert that violation as a claim or defense in a judicial
proceeding and obtain appropriate relief against a govern-
ment. Standing to assert a claim or defense under this
section shall be governed by the general rules of standing
under article III of the Constitution.
SEC. 4. ATTORNEYS FEES.
(a) JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.—Section 722 of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States (42 U.S.C. 1988) is
amended by inserting ‘‘the Religious Freedom Restoration
