If Clinton signed an RFRA 22 years ago (which he did), why is a State Governor doing it again now? I thought that once the Feds did something, the States wouldn’t have to sign another similar bill into law.

Like I asked earlier, did the Dems repeal the Federal RFRA when they took control of Congress, either during the Bush or Obama Presidencies?

in 1998, the supreme court ruled that the federal rfra does not apply to state / local laws. since then, 19 states passed their own rfra. one other thing, the hobby lobby case was decided on the rfra.
