The following is from an email sent from The National Religious Broadcasters.
A bill that would limit the remedy to injunctive relief and deny attorneys’ fees in a civil action against a state or local official in cases of public expression of religion has been temporally stalled in committee. Further discussion on Rep. John Hostettler’s (R-IN) bill entitled Public Expression of Religion Act of 2005 (HR 2679) was cut off when the Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) lacked a quorum of members needed to continue discussion in a late afternoon meeting. The bill will likely come up for a vote in committee after the congressional August recess, preparing its way for full House approval yet this year.
