A religious freedom bill seen to enable discrimination against LGBT students in Kansas has reached the desk of Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican leader who has made anti-LGBT discrimination in the name of religious liberty a cornerstone of his administration.

The legislation, SB 175, would prohibit postsecondary schools from taking adverse action against religious student associations, such as denying them meeting places or official recognition, if these associations reject members who don’t “adhere to the association’s sincerely held religious beliefs.” Critics say the measure would enable these associations to refuse membership to LGBT students at taxpayer-funded public institutions.

On Wednesday, the House approved the legislation by 81-14 vote. Rep. Brandon Whipple (D-Wichita) offered two amendments to mitigate the legislation — one to clarify the bill couldn’t be used for discrimination, another to clarify schools could punish associations if they engage in discrimination — but both failed on the floor. The Senate had approved the legislation last year by a 30-8 vote.

Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, called on Brownback to veto the bill, but that outcome seems unlikely based on the governor’s record.

“SB 175 has nothing to do with American values or religious liberty and everything to do with blatant discrimination against tens of thousands of college students from all across the country,” Griffin said. “If signed into law, this disgraceful bill would undermine non-discrimination policies and protections at colleges and universities throughout Kansas. We urge Gov. Brownback to stand on the right side of history and veto this draconian measure.”

According to the Human Rights Campaign, the bill jeopardizes non-discrimination policies put in place by many Kansas educational institutions, including the Kansas Board of Regents and the University of Kansas. These institutions prohibit student organizations from discriminating on the basis of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity to continue receiving financial and other support.

Melika Willoughby, a Brownback spokesperson, said the governor hasn’t received the legislation, but once that happens will review it.

After receiving the legislation, the governor has 10 days to either or sign or veto the bill. If he takes no action by that time, the bill becomes law on its own accord.

Thomas Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas, saw no chance Brownback would veto the legislation, saying, “It passed. It’s going to be signed by the governor.”

“This is the kind of stuff this governor supports,” Witt said. “He’s made it clear since he got elected he supports religious objection legislation. We had a religious objection bill every year since he got elected. This is the first one to pass. We managed to stop every other one of them.”

Last year, Brownback made one of his first orders of business in his second term reversing an executive order instituted by former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius prohibiting discrimination against LGBT state workers.
