This safeguard tracks whether a state had codified a RFRA before January 1, 2023 and, if so, whether that law is located in its constitution or in statutory law. Checkmarks reflect that RFRAs in either location constitute a safeguard. (For more about data collection on RFRAs, please see the details here.)

To find subsequent laws -or- in cases where a state's laws are not possible to link to directly, use the citation number to manually navigate to the statute of interest.
