As such, a faith-based Contractor of

Non-secular Services under this contract shall post at its place(s) of business the following written notice and personally apprise all assisted offenders of the same unless its programming is exclusively secular and it does not display conspicuous symbols of its religious character, practices, or expression:

Neither the State of Wisconsin’s selection of a faith-based Contractor of services nor the expenditure of funds under any contract with said

Contractor is an endorsement of that Contractor’s religious character, practices, or expression. No Contractor of services may discriminate against you on the basis of religion, a religious belief, or your refusal to actively participate in a religious practice. If you object to a particular

Contractor because of its religious character, you may request assignment to a different non-sectarian Contractor by contacting your

Agent.
