2 Connecticut’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act Connecticut General Statutes section 52-571b(current as of 2001) Sec. 52-571b. Action or defense authorized when state or political subdivision burdens a person's exercise of religion. (a) The state or any political subdivision of the state shall not burden a person's exercise of religion under section 3 of article first of the constitution of the state even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, except as provided in subsection (b) of this section. (b) The state or any political subdivision of the state may burden a person's exercise of religion only if it demonstrates that application of the burden to the person (1) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest, and (2) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest. (c) A person whose exercise of religion has been burdened in violation of the provisions of this section may assert that violation as a claim or defense in a judicial proceeding and obtain appropriate relief against the state or any political subdivision of the state. (d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize the state or any political subdivision of the state to burden any religious belief. (e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect, interpret or in any way address that portion of article seventh of the constitution of the state that prohibits any law giving a preference to any religious society or denomination in the state. The granting of government funding, benefits or exemptions, to the extent permissible under the constitution of the state, shall not constitute a violation of this section. As used in this subsection, the term "granting" does not include the denial of government funding, benefits or exemptions. (f) For the purposes of this section, "state or any political subdivision of the state" includes any agency, board, commission, department, officer or employee of the state or any political subdivision of the state, and "demonstrates" means meets the burdens of going forward with the evidence and of persuasion.

3 Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act “I've got to tell you, I've always been fascinated by people who care so much about what other people are and what they do in their personal lives,” Auriemma said in a news conference. “Like how small-minded do you have to be to care that much about what other people are doing? Life is hard enough as it is, trying to live your own life. “What do you care what other people are doing, as long as it doesn't affect you? And if it's true, … hiding behind this religious c*** is the most cowardly thing I've ever heard. “I don't know all the details... but it's 2015.”
