Bill > ACR90

This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the New Jersey State Constitution that would establish a fundamental right to comprehensive, affordable, and accessible health care for all residents. The proposed constitutional amendment would require the state Legislature to create and enact laws that ensure this right is secured for every person, without discrimination based on age, sex, race, pre-existing health conditions, income, economic status, or ability to pay. If approved, the amendment would be submitted to voters at the next general election more than three months after its final agreement, with detailed ballot language explaining the proposed constitutional change. The resolution aims to create a legal guarantee of health care access as a fundamental right for all New Jersey residents, effectively mandating that the state government take active steps to make health care services universally available and equitable.
