It appears the story is sensationalized, the churches are required to keep track of those in attendance but they are not required to turn those lists over. At least not until the city decides they should.

Every one of these leftist clowns in government are desperate to establish a state of tyranny.
Still a gross violation of the first amendment. Do they keep a list of everyone who goes to Wal Mart?
Then the story is not sensationalized in any way, but is confirmed.
I have never been REQUIRED to provide a real name and physical address to attend a church service.
This. It covers churces, synagogues, mosques, funerals, weddings; in other words, gatherings. They have to note names and when they came/left. After 30 days they can discard them.
Their stated reason is to speed exposure tracking if needed.
Debate away armed with these facts. Sorry I didn’t keep source; it was in an earlier FR article I read early this a.m.
Thanks for the link I like to see both sides of the story. There is so much slanted news to get people emotions up in recent days. I am learning to research first before reacting.
Yes the story has been sensationalized from my first read. But here is my but: Thinking a little deeper what can keep this code/law (what every they call it) from being abused?
from article: “Enforcement will also be a tricky dilemma for authorities”
Can local Enforcement request a list if they think a Church is not in compliance with 10/10/10 rule?
If they pass a code requiring the church to hold the records for 30 days, what keeps their code enforcement going out and enforcing the code? The Mayor’s word?
The mayor needs to put in writing when the list can be requested and only the mayor can make request.
I am thinking of world past history on how list were used and abuse.
Just like firearms registrations - we just ask that you compile a list, we won’t do anything untoward with it /s
