A. No public institution of higher education may take any action or enforce any policy that would deny a religious student association any benefit available to any other student association, or discriminate against a religious student association with respect to such benefit, based on that association's requirement that its leaders or members:

1. Adhere to the association's sincerely held religious beliefs;

2. Comply with the association's sincere religious observance requirements;

3. Comply with the association's sincere religious standards of conduct; or

4. Be committed to furthering the association's religious missions,

as such religious beliefs, observance requirements, standards of conduct or missions are defined by the religious student association, or the religion upon which the association is based.
