A Supreme Court case involving a Jewish prayer gathering in Ohio could broaden the ability of religious groups to challenge local zoning restrictions.
According to CNN, Daniel Grand invited about a dozen people to his University Heights home for a minyan in 2021. City officials told him he needed a special-use permit. Grand withdrew his application and sued, arguing that the requirement burdened his religious practice.
The Supreme Court is expected to decide the case next year. Religious organizations supporting Grand argue that governments could otherwise delay decisions and effectively prevent religious groups from obtaining court review.
The ruling could have implications beyond zoning, including disputes involving abortion accommodations, transgender healthcare and other policies challenged on religious grounds.
