# 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc–1 - Protection of religious exercise of institutionalized persons
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) General rule No government shall impose a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person residing in or confined to an institution, as defined in section 1997 of this title, even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless the government demonstrates that imposition of the burden on that person—
|
||
|
||
(1) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and
|
||
|
||
(2) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.
|
||
|
||
(b) Scope of application This section applies in any case in which—
|
||
|
||
(1) the substantial burden is imposed in a program or activity that receives Federal financial assistance; or
|
||
|
||
(2) the substantial burden affects, or removal of that substantial burden would affect, commerce with foreign nations, among the several States, or with Indian tribes.
