A state or local government entity may not deny a child-placing agency any grant, contract, or participation in a government program because of the child-placing agency's objection to performing, assisting, counseling, recommending, facilitating, referring, or participating in a placement that violates the child-placing agency's written religious or moral convictions or policies. Refusal by a child-placing agency to perform, assist, counsel, recommend, facilitate, refer, or participate in a placement that violates the child-placing agency's written religious or moral convictions or policies does not constitute a determination that the proposed adoption is not in the best interest of the minor.","path":["Title 50 Public Welfare","Chapter 50-12 Child-Placing Agency"],"source_url":"https://ndlegis.gov/cencode/t50c12.pdf","current_through":"2026-07-31T11:12:02","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-02T21:04:14Z","sha256":"cff29faad2289d2653f5994729fa442d27f4a5452369968f125551000b481717","source_id":"us-nd","stale":true,"prev":"us-nd/n.d.-cent.-code-50-12-07","next":"us-nd/n.d.-cent.-code-50-12-08"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
