A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to medical treatment.
This bill proposes adding a new section to Iowa's Constitution protecting an individual's right to refuse any medical procedure, treatment, vaccine, or preventive care without interference. It specifically states that public accommodations (like businesses or services) cannot deny equal access or liberty based on someone exercising this right to refuse medical care. If passed, the amendment would require voter approval after being referred to the next state legislature. The change would directly affect all Iowans regarding their medical choices and how public spaces may interact with those choices.
