Amends the constitution by adding a right to privacy

This bill (S 8603) proposes a constitutional amendment to recognize a fundamental right to privacy for all residents. It would add a new section to the state constitution stating that "the right of the people to privacy is recognized and shall not be infringed," requiring courts to consider the nature of information obtained and the extent of intrusion when applying this right. The amendment does not specify particular privacy protections (like digital data or medical records) but establishes a general standard for judicial review. The bill is currently pending in the Judiciary committee, with recent steps including legal opinions from the Attorney General.
