Relates to amending the constitution to prevent and mitigate adverse childhood experiences
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment requiring the state to address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as a public concern. It would add a new section to the state constitution stating that preventing and mitigating ACEs is a responsibility for the state and its local governments, to be handled through future legislation. The amendment does not create specific programs or funding but mandates that the legislature develop and implement solutions over time. It directly affects the state legislature, which would need to pass subsequent laws to fulfill this constitutional requirement. The bill is currently in committee review and requires voter approval after future elections.
