SJR 10 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right of individuals to refuse medical treatments.

SJR 10 proposes adding Section 37 to the Texas Constitution to guarantee that "each individual residing in this state has the right to refuse any medical treatment, including a procedure, vaccine, medical device, or prophylactic." The amendment would prohibit anyone from interfering with this right. If approved by voters in the November 2025 election, it would become part of the state constitution. This is a procedural proposal requiring voter approval, not an immediate law affecting current medical practices.
