In Sherbert v. Verner,, the Supreme Court required states to meet the " strict scrutiny " standard when refusing to accommodate religiously motivated conduct.

In Sherbert v. Verner ( 1963 ), for example, the Court upheld a Seventh-day Adventist's claim to unemployment benefits even though she declined to make herself available to work on Saturday ( her Sabbath ) as the law required.

This law reinstated the Sherbert Test, which was set forth by Sherbert v. Verner, and Wisconsin v. Yoder, mandating that strict scrutiny be used when determining if the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, guaranteeing religious freedom, has been violated.

In the 1960s, the Supreme Court interpreted this as banning laws that burdened a person's exercise of religion ( e. g. Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U. S. 398 ( 1963 ); Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U. S. 205 ( 1972 )).
