Theological note: The bill concerns vocational formation, honest work, and the connection between employers and workers. Scripture commends diligent labor and the equipping of people for useful work, so the subject bears on stewardship and neighbor-love. It raises no direct moral question about life, sexuality, speech, or coercive state power.
