Constitutional Amendments - Proposes to amend Article I of the Constitution of Tennessee to establish the right to privacy. -

HJR 841 proposes adding a new section to Tennessee's state constitution that establishes a fundamental right to privacy for all residents. The bill would amend Article I by stating: "As a necessary part of a free society, the people have an individual and fundamental right to privacy." This constitutional change would directly affect every Tennessee citizen by enshrining privacy as a protected right under state law. The resolution is currently in committee review and requires further legislative approval before it could be submitted to voters for ratification.
