What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Do No Harm Act," seeks to amend the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. It introduces exceptions to prevent the Act from being applied when federal laws are meant to protect others from harm. These exceptions include protections against discrimination, requirements for employer compensation or benefits, and protections against child labor or abuse. It also addresses healthcare access and the requirements of government contracts or grants. Finally, it clarifies rules regarding judicial proceedings between private parties.
