Do No Harm Act

Under the bill, RFRA is inapplicable to laws or the implementation of laws that

protect against discrimination or require the promotion of equal opportunity (e.g., the Civil Rights Act of 1964);

require employers to provide wages, other compensation, or benefits, including leave;

protect collective activity in the workplace;

protect against child labor, abuse, or exploitation; or

provide for access to, information about, referrals for, provision of, or coverage for any health care item or service.

The bill prevents RFRA from being used to deny (1) goods or services the government has agreed to provide to a beneficiary of or participant in a program or activity funded by a government contract, grant, agreement, or other award; or (2) a person's full and equal enjoyment of a government-provided good, service, benefit, facility, privilege, advantage, or accommodation.

In order for a person to assert a RFRA claim or defense in a judicial proceeding, the government must be a party to the proceeding.
