(1) During a state of emergency declared as described in this chapter:
(a) the governor or chief executive officer of a political subdivision may not impose a restriction
on a religious gathering that is more restrictive than a restriction on any other relevantly
similar gathering; and

(b) an individual, while acting or purporting to act within the course and scope of the individual's
official government capacity, may not:
(i) prevent a religious gathering that is held in a manner consistent with any order or restriction
issued pursuant to this part; or
(ii) impose a penalty for a previous religious gathering that was held in a manner consistent with
any order or restriction issued pursuant to this part.
(2) Upon proper grounds, a court of competent jurisdiction may grant an injunction to prevent the
violation of this section.
(3) During a state of emergency declared as described in this title, the governor or the chief
executive of a political subdivision shall not issue an executive order or impose or implement
a regulation that substantially burdens an individual's exercise of religion unless the governor
or chief executive officer of the political subdivision demonstrates that the application of the
burden to the individual:
(a) is in furtherance of a compelling government interest; and
(b) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling government interest.
(4) Notwithstanding Subsections (1) and (3), an executive order shall allow reasonable
accommodations for an individual to perform or participate in a religious practice or rite.
