Gov. Reynolds Statement on Iowa House Passing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act 

   
DES MOINES – Gov. Reynolds released the following statement in response to the Iowa House passing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act:  

 

“The right of religious freedom is endowed upon us by our creator - not government. Our founders recognized this principle, and today the Iowa House took a step forward to protect it. Twenty-three states around the country, with both Republican and Democrat governors, have passed similar laws. Now, it’s Iowa’s turn.”
