In addition to Doug's piece, this March 2014 post from Eugene has a map and comprehensive legend covering both RFRAs and state constitutional provisions that have been interpreted as providing exemption rights:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/03/24/religious-exemptions-a-guide-for-the-confused/ Mississippi, Indiana, and Arkansas have since adopted RFRAs. I don't know if any additional states have interpreted their constitutions to require exemptions since March 2014, but Washington State's Supreme Court will soon be hearing a case (the florist/same-sex marriage case) in which it will be called upon to apply the state's constitutional provision on religious freedom. Although Eugene has Washington listed in the constitutional "strict scrutiny" category, and although the Washington Supreme Court has continued to use "compelling interest"/"narrow means" language, it has also used "reasonableness" language, which has muddied the waters. See City of Woodinville v. Northshore United Church of Christ, 211 P.3d 406, 410 n.3 (2009) ("Of course, the government may require compliance with reasonable police power regulation."). - Jim On Sat, Dec 5, 2015 at 10:02 AM, Douglas Laycock <dlayc...@virginia.edu> wrote: > I collect these in my Illinois piece, in footnotes in the 20s.
