Bill > SJR0620

This resolution proposes an amendment to Article I of the Constitution of Tennessee, which is the state's foundational legal document, to add a new section that would prevent the state from forcing any person to undergo medical treatment without proper legal proceedings, known as "due process of law," even during a declared state of emergency. The resolution clarifies that "medical treatment" encompasses a broad range of interventions, including procedures, drugs, and vaccinations, aimed at addressing physical or mental health conditions. It also states that the Tennessee General Assembly, the state's legislative body, has the power to pass laws to ensure this amendment is followed. This proposed amendment will then be sent to the next legislative session for further consideration and must be published according to state law, including on the official websites of the Secretary of State and the General Assembly, before it can be voted on by the public.
