Government shall not substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, except as provided in subsection (b). Government may substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion only if it demonstrates that application of the burden to the person— is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest. A person whose religious exercise has been burdened in violation of this section may assert that violation as a claim or defense in a judicial proceeding and obtain appropriate relief against a government.
Standing to assert a claim or defense under this section shall be governed by the general rules of standing under article III of the Constitution. ( Pub. L. 103–141, § 3 , Nov. 16, 1993 , 107 Stat. 1488 .)
