U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives

"On March 9, 2004, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to implement executive branch policy that, within the framework of constitutional church-state guidelines, religiously affiliated (or "faith-based") organizations should be able to compete on an equal footing with other organizations for the Department's funding without impairing the religious character of such organizations. It creates a new Part 87 Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations, and revises Department regulations at 45 CFR Parts 74, 92, and 96 to remove barriers to the participation of faith-based organizations in Department programs and to ensure that these programs are implemented in a manner consistent with applicable statutes and the requirements of the Constitution, including the Establishment, Free Exercise, and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment."
