Bill Summary

A JOINT RESOLUTION proposing a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right of individuals to refuse medical treatments.

AI Summary

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to add a new section to the Texas Constitution that would explicitly guarantee individuals the right to refuse any medical treatment, including procedures, vaccines, medical devices, and prophylactic interventions. The proposed amendment would prohibit any person from interfering with or impeding an individual's right to refuse medical treatment. If approved, the amendment would be submitted to Texas voters for consideration at the November 4, 2025 election, with ballot language that clearly states the proposition as "The constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right of individuals to refuse medical treatments." The resolution aims to enshrine personal medical autonomy as a fundamental right in the state constitution, allowing individuals to make independent decisions about their medical care without external interference.
