The bill includes basic elements of President Bush\u2019s faith-based initiatives: tax\nincentives for private giving -- scaled back from original proposals (Title I) -- and expansion of\ncharitable choice (Title II). (Title III deals with individual development accounts.) \n H.R. 7  would apply to 9 new program areas \u201ccharitable choice\u201d rules, which\nforbid\ndiscrimination on grounds of religion against faith-based organizations as providers of specified\nfederally funded services. It includes provisions aimed at protecting the religious independence of\nfaith-based organizations (for instance, the right to hire only co-religionists and retain symbols) and\nprotecting the religious freedom of beneficiaries (for instance, the right to an alternate and accessible\nprovider). The bill bars use of federal grant/cooperative agreement funds (but not voucher payments)\nfor sectarian worship. Note: This bill expired at the end of the 107th Congress. President Bush then\nissued an Executive Order (O13279) directing several Cabinet departments to adopt charitable choice\nrules \u201cto the extent permitted by law.\u201d",
