'Save Chick-fil-A' bill advances in Texas Legislature; proponents say the bill is about “religious freedom” but critics say it would lead to LGBTQ discrimination. - NBCOUT
When NBC News reached out to the proponents of Texas’ “Save Chick-fil-A” bill about similarities between their proposed legislation and Project Blitz’s “Marriage Tolerance Act,” none responded.
The Senate version of the bill is set for a third and final reading in the Texas House on Tuesday. But even if no Republican lawmakers flip during that hearing, the “Save Chick-fil-A” bill will not directly be headed to the desk of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. The Texas House on Monday voted to remove a portion of the Senate bill that would have allowed Attorney General Ken Paxton to investigate potential violators of the statute.
