RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION CONCERNING AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO CLEAN AND HEALTHY AIR, WATER, SOIL, ECOSYSTEMS AND ENVIRONMENT AND A SAFE AND STABLE CLIMATE.

HJ 14 proposes adding a new constitutional right to the state constitution, guaranteeing every resident the right to clean air, water, soil, ecosystems, a healthy environment, and a safe, stable climate. This amendment would directly affect all state residents by establishing a legal foundation for environmental protection. The key mechanism is amending Article I of the state constitution to explicitly include this right, making it enforceable through courts. The resolution aims to prioritize public health and safety through this constitutional guarantee.
