HB775 provides that no rule, regulation, or order issued by the Governor or other governmental entities applies to the exercise of religion in a place of worship.
The Virginia State House of Delegates passed HB775 on February 11, 2022 by a vote of 51 to 46. We have assigned plusses to the ayes because no law shall prohibit free exercise of religion and the right to peacefully assemble. These rights are protected by both the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and no situation or event in the United States shall lead to the suspension of those rights.
