Defines "person" in relation to the equal protection of laws
This is a procedural joint resolution (SJR 72) that proposes a definition of "person" specifically for interpreting equal protection under the law. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups; instead, it aims to clarify the legal meaning of "person" in equal protection contexts. The resolution is currently in early stages (prefiled, first reading scheduled) and focuses solely on defining terminology for legal interpretation. No substantive policy changes or affected parties are specified in the proposed definition.
