RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO ESTABLISH AN ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT.

HJ 22 proposes a constitutional amendment to guarantee every state citizen the right to a clean and healthy environment. If approved by voters, this amendment would become part of the state constitution, requiring state and local governments to consider environmental protection in decision-making. The resolution must first be passed by the legislature and then ratified by the public in a statewide election. It does not change current environmental laws but would establish a new constitutional right.
