Wyoming now requires courts to use the toughest legal standard when government rules burden religious practice.
In a move that aligns it with a growing number of US states, Wyoming has become the 29th to enact its own Religious Freedom Restoration Act, setting new legal safeguards for individuals and corporations who believe government rules infringe on the practice of their religion.
Wyoming’s new law adds momentum to a broader national trend of reasserting religious liberty at the state level.
