With Sandwiches On Hand, Texas Gov. Abbott Publicly Signs ‘Save Chick-fil-A’ Bill Into Law
The law bans government officials from discriminating against companies for donating to religious organizations.
AUSTIN – The so-called “Save Chick-fil-A” bill is now officially law in Texas.
Though he signed the bill last month, Governor Greg Abbott held a public ceremony on Thursday to sign SB 1978.
He also had plenty of Chick-fil-A sandwiches on hand, which he called “a great lunch.”
Gov. Abbott tweeted video of the signing:
Today I signed the @ChickfilA law in Texas.
And, had a great lunch.
No business should be discriminated against simply because its owners donate to a church, the Salvation Army, or other religious organization.

It comes after a move by the San Antonio city council to ban the Christian-owned fast food chain from its airport over its support of groups with anti-LGBT views.
