In '''''City of Boerne v. Flores''''', 521 U.S. 507, 529-36 (1997), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] partially struck down the previously enacted [[Religious Freedom Restoration Act]] on the grounds that it exceeded Congress' power to regulate the states under the [[Fourteenth Amendment]]. The Court held that RFRA may not be applied to purely state, as opposed to federal, action.
[[Congress]] enacted the [[RLUIPA]] in 2000 as a response to this decision.
