Constitutional Amendments - Proposes adding a provision establishing the right to food that includes the right to save and exchange seeds and the right to grow, raise, harvest, produce, and acquire and consume the food of their own choosing for their own nourishment, sustenance, bodily health, and well-being. -

HJR 780 proposes adding a new constitutional right to Tennessee's Constitution, granting all residents the right to save and exchange seeds, grow food on eligible land (not zoned for non-agricultural use), and choose their own food for nourishment. It specifies these rights apply without trespassing, theft, or harming resources, and explicitly states they do not override state regulations on illegal substances. The bill would require a constitutional amendment vote after legislative approval, not immediate implementation. This is a procedural proposal, not an enacted law, and does not change current food or land-use regulations.
