Can someone confirm this about AZ's SB 1062 [View all]
A coworker actually read the text of the law and is claiming that it exempts both businesses and individuals from complying with any state law, municipal codes, or county and local ordinance that infringes on their religious beliefs.
So, under this law, if I join one of the Naturist faiths, I can walk around downtown Phoenix stark naked because my religious beliefs overrule any state or city codes requiring me to wear clothing. Or if I join an end-times cult, I can carry a loaded firearm anywhere I want without a permit because my religious beliefs trump state gun regulations.
Or if I join one of those Mormon cults that allows me to marry a half dozen 14 year old girls, I can now do so because my religious beliefs will trump BOTH the states age of consent AND polygamy laws.
Is this actually correct? A couple of quick googles seems to support his claim, but I haven't found the actual text of the law anywhere.
