           By Mr. KELLY of Pennsylvania:
       H.R. 6485.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
       The single subject of this legislation is:
       This bill prohibits the federal government, states, tribal 
     nations, or localities from discriminating or taking adverse 
     action against a child welfare provider that declines to 
     provide services due to the provider's sincerely held 
     religious beliefs or moral convictions. However, government 
     entities may still take adverse action against a provider 
     that declines to provide adoption or foster care services 
     based on race, color or national origin.
