Cruz and Slotkin Join Forces to Introduce Bipartisan Right to Worship Act
· Texas Border Business
U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) have introduced the Right to Worship Act, aimed at safeguarding the First Amendment rights of Americans to practice their religion freely. This legislation establishes a 100-foot buffer zone around religious institutions to prevent disruptive actions that could hinder attendance or disturb services. Cruz emphasized the need for Congress to protect this right amid rising hate incidents, while Slotkin highlighted the increasing attacks on places of worship. The bill also includes civil penalties for repeated violations and allows worshippers to seek legal remedies. Companion legislation has been introduced in the House.
