Relating to the interpretation of certain laws protecting the free exercise of religion.

HB 927 clarifies how Texas courts interpret laws protecting religious freedom under the Civil Practice and Remedies Code. It amends Section 110.009(b) to state that these protections exist "in addition to" federal and state constitutional safeguards, and explicitly prohibits using this chapter to reinterpret specific sections of the Texas Constitution (Article I, Sections 4, 5, 6, 6-a, and 7). The bill does not create new rights but aims to prevent courts from applying this code to override those constitutional provisions. It directly affects legal cases involving religious freedom claims in Texas courts. The amendment takes effect September 1, 2025.
