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, prohibiting disruptive behavior that could hinder attendance or disturb services. Cruz emphasized the need for Congress to protect this right amid rising acts of hate against places of worship. Slotkin echoed concerns about increasing attacks on religious sites. The bill also includes provisions for civil fines and allows worshippers to seek legal remedies for violations.
