Timmons Statement on HHS Religious Liberty Announcement

Statement

Date: Nov. 5, 2019
Location: Greenville, SC
Issues: Minors and Children Religion Family

"Faith-based child placing agencies have long been a crucial partner in providing homes for foster children, especially in South Carolina. But because of an ill-advised and hastily implemented regulation from the Obama Administration, faith-based agencies were forced into the impossible situation of having to choose between continuing to adhere to their religious beliefs or continuing to provide homes for vulnerable children," said Congressman Timmons. "With this news from HHS, faith-based foster care providers such as Miracle Hill Ministries will no longer be faced with this choice. I am glad the Trump Administration has taken this important step and look forward to this new rule being finalized in the months ahead."
