Arkansas 'religious freedom' bill clears Legislature
The bill prevents state and local governments from infringing upon someone's religious beliefs without a "Compelling" Interest. Opponents of the measure, which has been likened to a recently enacted Indiana law, say it will allow widespread discrimination against gays and lesbians. Gov. Asa Hutchinson has said he will sign it into law. Ref. USAToday

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson says he does not plan to sign the version of the religious freedom bill that sits on his desk. He called on the state Legislature to make changes before sending it back to him.
The Arkansas House on Tuesday approved a measure that mirrors the one Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed into law. The Indiana law sparked outrage from opponents who said it opened the door to discrimination against gays and lesbians. Ref. CNN
