How have courts interpreted Section 65995 of the California Religious Freedom Act?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Loyola Marymount University v. Los Angeles Unified School Dist., 45 Cal.App.4th 1256, 53 Cal.Rptr.2d 424 (Cal. App. 1996):
Loyola contends, without any supporting authority, that its facilities are used exclusively for religious purposes. 7 Section 65995 does not define the term "used exclusively for religious purposes." Therefore, "we looked elsewhere for assistance." (Williams v. Superior Court (1993) 5 Cal.4th 337, 352, 19 Cal.Rptr.2d 882, 852 P.2d 377.) "In doing so we simply applied the well-accepted principle of statutory interpretation that permits reference to a similar statute 'to guide the construction' of the statute in question." (Ibid.)
