handle is hein.journals/prvw42 and id is 1 raw text is: I .4 Previewing the Court's Entire October Calendar of Cases, including ... Holt v. Hobbs The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, RLUIPA, prohibits prisons and local governments from imposing a substantial burden on the religious exercise of persons living in an institution, including a prison. This limitation exists even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless the government can show that the burden is the least restrictive means of furthering a compelling governmental interest. In this case, a Department of Corrections rule prohibits an inmate from growing a beard in accordance with his religious beliefs. The prisoner claims such a limitation violates RLUIPA. Integrity Staffing Solutions v Busk This case examines whether time spent in security screenings is compensable under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), as amended by the Portal-to- Portal Act. Specifically, the FLSA allows for employee compensation for activities that are integral and indispensable to the employees' principal job activities, but not for preliminary or postliminary activities that are unrelated to the employees' job duties. The outcome in the case turns on how the Court characterizes the employer-required security screenings. AN Division for AERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION Public Education
