LUBBOCK, TX - Texas Senate Bill 24 was pre-filed Tuesday.
The legislature relates "to a privilege from disclosure to governmental units for certain evidence concerning sermons delivered by a religious leader," according to the Senate website.
Senior Pastor Jeff McCreight, with Rock City Church, said he backed the ideas behind the proposal, nicknamed the "Sermon Safeguard" bill.
"This bill being proposed is a very good thing, it does protect us," he explained.
