Bill > HB617

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution that would establish a fundamental right to medical freedom. Specifically, the amendment would create a new section in Article I that guarantees every individual the absolute right to refuse any medical procedure, treatment, injection, vaccine, or prophylactic without questioning or interference. The proposed amendment further stipulates that no person in Pennsylvania can be denied or have their legal rights abridged because they choose to exercise this medical freedom. The bill outlines a specific implementation process requiring two passages by the General Assembly, with the Secretary of the Commonwealth responsible for advertising the proposed amendment and subsequently submitting it to qualified voters at the first eligible general or municipal election. By enshrining this right in the state constitution, the bill aims to protect individuals' autonomy in making medical decisions and prevent any potential mandates or constraints on personal medical choices.
