Supreme Court of the United States

Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc. v. Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Comm'n

June 5, 2025605 U.S. 238

Summary

The Supreme Court held that Wisconsin’s unemployment‑tax exemption statute, as applied to Catholic Charities, violates the First Amendment because it creates a denominational preference that must be subject to strict scrutiny and fails to meet that standard. The Court reversed the Wisconsin Supreme Court and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
