Effect. A child-placing agency is not required to perform, assist, counsel, recommend, facilitate, refer, or participate in a placement that violates the agency's written religious or moral convictions or policies. A state or local government entity may not deny a child -placing agency any grant, contract, or participation in a government program because of the child -placing agency's objection to performing, assisting, counseling, recommending, facilitating, referring, or participating in a placement that violates the child -placing agency's written religious or moral convictions or policies. Refusal by a child -placing agency to perform, assist, counsel, recommend, facilitate, refer, or participate in a placement that violates the child-placing agency's written religious or moral convictions or policies does not constitute a determination that the proposed adoption is not in the best interest of the minor.
