AI Summary
This bill repeals two existing laws in Mississippi: the Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act provided legal protections for individuals and organizations to exercise their religious beliefs, while the Protecting Freedom of Conscience Act prohibited government discrimination against individuals and organizations based on their religious or moral beliefs. By repealing these laws, the bill effectively removes these legal protections and allows for potential discrimination against religious individuals and organizations in Mississippi.
