Summary
Examines constitutional rules governing Federal funding for religious buildings, and analyzes previous Supreme Court decisions on this issue. Analyzes more recent lower court and administrative opinions that have distinguished Court decisions and allowed public funds to be awarded to houses of worship. Discusses examples in which Congress has proposed or provided funding related to construction and maintenance of religious buildings, including H.R. 592, the Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act of 2013, to authorize FEMA to provide disaster recovery assistance to houses of worship and other buildings operated by religious organizations.
