Abstract
As the two preceding commentaries demonstrate, there are strong differences of opinion about the constitutionality of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act—which will, no doubt, be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court in the future. The American Planning Association has consistently opposed RLUIPA as well as its predecessor (the Religious Freedom Restoration Act). This has not only been a legislative priority for the organization, going back to the mid-1990s, but is now an adopted policy position that involves the work of APA's Amicus Curiae Committee.
