Nevadans have made a point to ensure that our state laws offer protections for individuals regardless of their lifestyle. This bill will help ensure those same protections to Americans across the country. It is a well-balanced and fair piece of legislation that I hope the House of Representatives will also take up and pass,\u201d said Senator Dean Heller after the vote.\r\nENDA prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.\u00a0 Senator Heller also cosponsored an amendment introduced by Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) that protects religious employers from retaliation by the government on the basis of adhering to their religious convictions. The amendment, which passed the Senate by voice vote yesterday, also clarifies that protecting religious freedom is a central purpose of ENDA.\r\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.heller.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?ContentRecord_id=1ef7ac95-3ce0-412f-bed0-47153499aabe"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8409637957811356, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
