Ga. Hotel Industry Braces For Religious Exemption Bills

Some Georgia business leaders are bracing for a possible resurrection of religious exemption legislation in the upcoming state legislative session.

State lawmakers earlier this year passed a religious exemptions bill that was eventually vetoed by Governor Nathan Deal. Supporters have said the bill was needed to protect people’s religious liberties, but critics in the business and civil rights community said it could lead to discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
