Oklahoma legislatures have passed the Oklahoma Religious Freedom Act, through the House and is now waiting to be signed by Gov. Kevin Stitt.
The bill (SB 404) passed with a 64-27 vote and protects against discrimination against religious organizations, especially when it comes to receiving state tax dollars.
