Landor v. Louisiana Dept of Corrections and Public Safety · ¶70

Partially rebuffed, Congress tried again, enacting RLUIPA, 42 U. S. C. §2000cc et seq. In contrast to RFRA’s “sweeping” scope, RLUIPA focused in narrowly on two discrete “areas of state and local action” in which Congress thought religious freedom faced particular threat: land-use regulation and institutionalized persons. Sossamon v. Texas, 563 U. S. 277, 281 (2011).
