The so-called “Save Chick-fil-A” bill explicitly forbids the government from taking “any adverse action” against any person or business for affiliation with a religious organization.
A large Texas flag hangs from the Texas State Capitol in Austin earlier this year.
But the bill passed the House by a near party line vote of 79 to 62 after about two hours of debate on Monday. If the Senate agrees to some changes it made, it will head to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. “Look at the language in this bill,” Krause said, according to the Tribune. “There is nothing discriminatory in the language ... There is nothing discriminatory in the intent.”Rep. Jessica González, a Democrat from Dallas, tried but failed to add language to the bill that would have protected LGBTQ people from discrimination, according to the Tribune.
Other prominent Republicans in the state such as Abbott and Sen. Ted Cruz, made similar claims at the time.
