Daines Introduces Bill to Protect Religious Liberty for Montana College Students

  • September 19, 2025

U.S. SENATE - Senator Steve Daines introduced the "Equal Campus Access Act of 2025" to protect religious liberty for college students and ensure that religious student organizations are not discriminated against on campus.

"America would not be the land of the free without our fundamental right to freedom of religion, and our college campuses should be the strongest defenders of these rights. This bill makes certain that public colleges treat religious student organizations the same as every other student group. Now more than ever, our nation needs students to live out and share their faith together. I'm proud to stand behind this bill," said Daines.
