加州"反仇恨言论"新法引基督教家庭团体警告，教会豁免不明
据基督邮报（Christian Post）报道，基督教家庭团体警告称，加州州长纽森上月签署的 AB 1803 法案可能迫使教会进行公民抗命。该法要求5人以上雇主在反骚扰培训中加入识别、举报和制止"仇恨言论"的内容，2028年1月1日生效，但法案未明确豁免教会或宗教组织，也未定义何为"仇恨言论"。
加州家庭委员会指出，虽然加州现行法律一般将非盈利宗教团体排除在"雇主"定义之外，可能使其免于该法约束，但法案本身没有写明豁免条款，留下法律风险。
California 'Anti-Hate Speech' Law Draws Warning From Christian Family Groups Over Unclear Church Exemption
Christian family groups warn that AB 1803, signed last month by Gov. Newsom, could force churches into civil disobedience. The law requires employers with five or more workers to include identifying, reporting and stopping "hate speech" in anti-harassment training, effective Jan. 1, 2028 — but does not explicitly exempt churches or religious organizations, nor define "hate speech."
The California Family Council notes that existing state law generally excludes nonprofit religious groups from the "employer" definition, which may exempt them, but the bill itself contains no explicit carve-out, leaving legal risk.
