'The City's decision to exclude Country Mill Farms from the 2017 East Lansing Farmer's Market constituted a burden on Plaintiffs' religious beliefs.'

, the Supreme Court held Philadelphia could not refuse to contract with a Catholic foster care agency, Catholic Social Services , that refused to certify gay couples as foster parents.

The Michigan federal court explained how a law “incidentally burden[ing] religion” is normally constitutional, provided the law is “neutral and generally applicable.” However, if the law is not “neutral and generally applicable,” courts apply a heightened standard of scrutiny to determine constitutionality.

Because East Lansing’s policy was “not generally applicable,” the city had to show the application of its policy against Country Mill Farms furthered “a compelling interest” and that the policy was “narrowly tailored” to achieving that interest. East Lansing, the court found, did not meet that burden.
