The First Freedom Act is Very Broad

 The First Freedom Act is very broad: it “applies to all state and local laws, and the implementation of those laws, whether statutory or otherwise, regardless of whether adopted before or after July 19, 2024 [the date the act became operative].” Section 20-705

Moreover, “State action means the implementation or application of any law, including state and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and policies, whether statutory or otherwise, or other action by the state or any political subdivision thereof and any local government, municipality, instrumentality, or public official authorized by state or local law.”  Section 20-720 (5)

Thus, the law protects people of faith against the policies, rules, and regulations of state and local government, including public schools and state universities.
