(Austin, TX) — A bill aimed at protecting religious-affiliated businesses is one step closer to going into effect.

The Texas House gave final approval to the “Save Chick-fil-A” bill on Monday, just days after the Senate gave it the okay.  The bill would make it illegal for governments to withhold or terminate grants, contracts, or loans to a business that donates to religious groups.

It was put together after San Antonio decided to not give Chick-fil-A a contract at the airport after a city councilman claimed the eatery had a history of anti-LGBTQ bias.
