the main issue with this bill is how it protects state employees

that is bullshite and unconstitutional

private business should be able to discriminate all they want, but not governments

I think it just allows the state employee from opting out of performing their function. This seems to try to handle the clerk of court situation we saw in Kentucky. I agree with you though, if you don't want to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, don't work in the clerk of courts office. But, at the same time, you couldn't really say that about the clerk in Kentucky given the fact that gay marriage was illegal when she took the job.
