26-6-39. State may not take adverse action against child-placement agency acting on basis of sincere written religious policy. The state may not discriminate or take any adverse action against a child-placement agency or an organization seeking to become a child-placement agency on the basis, wholly or partly, that the child-placement agency has declined or will decline to provide any service that conflicts with, or provide any service under circumstances that conflict with the agency's written sincerely-held religious belief or moral conviction of the child-placement agency.

The state may not enter into a contract that is inconsistent with, would in any way interfere with, or would in any way require an organization to surrender any right created in §§ 26-6-36 to 26-6-50, inclusive.
