INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO): After overwhelmingly negative feedback on Indiana's Religious Restoration Freedom Act, lawmakers worked through the night to clarify some of the language included in the law. 

Senate Pro Temp David Long says the law supports the basic human rights of all Hoosiers, regardless of your religious beliefs. 

“These things can co-exist together. Religious liberty is a First Amendment right, and it's important that it be protected. But there's our individual rights as well. Religious freedom for all, and they can co-exist together.”

The changes now head over to Governor Pence. House Speaker Brian Bosma says the new language includes anti-discrimination safeguards.

“Representatives of national LGBT groups- we've met with a number of them. We've been informed that they believe that this legislation removes the concerns that had been expressed. Of course, they'd like to see further steps. But I think the national concerns that have been raised, have been put to bed.”

Some of the new language includes anti-discrimination safeguards, where customers cannot establish a defense to a civil action or criminal prosecution after refusal of service by a Hoosier business.

The new wording specifies that Hoosier businesses are not allowed to deny services such as goods, employment, or housing to anyone based upon the way they exercise their religious beliefs. However, those businesses or service provides cannot use the law in their defense if they take the issue to court.

More specifically, the law does not abolish basic human rights under the Constitution of the State of Indiana.
