Dear colleagues,
Here is the complaint, filed today by the University of Notre Dame, challenging
the mandate on RFRA, FEC, and other grounds. Among other things, it has the
information (I think) that Kevin is asking about.

Subject: RE: The contraception mandate under Empoyment Division v Smith
I'm very late to this thread but does anyone know where I might find a list of
parties exempt, wholly or partially, from the health care reform law? I
believe, for example, that the Amish are exempt. But am interested in the
complete exemption picture, so will appreciate any guidance anyone can offer.
Thanks.

Subject: RE: The contraception mandate under Empoyment Division v Smith
The first claim in the pending complaints is RFRA, which of course completely
avoids the Smith problem. The free exercise count alleges that there are both
statutory and administrative exceptions that affect tens of millions of
Americans who will get no coverage, or less than full coverage, from their
employers, so that the law is not neutral and generally applicable. I have not
looked at any of these provisions. But the employers who are permitted to
provide less than full coverage seems the most powerful example here. These
exceptions go not only to general applicability, but also to the compelling
interest argument under both RFRA and the Free Exercise Clause
