The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Constitution of the State of Iowa by adding a new section that guarantees individuals the right to refuse any medical procedure, treatment, injection, device, vaccine, or prophylactic without interference. This amendment emphasizes that the exercise of this right should not lead to any denial, abridgment, or restriction of equality of rights and liberty in public accommodations.
If adopted, the amendment will be published and referred to the next general assembly for consideration. Following this, it will be submitted to the electorate for ratification during the next general election. The resolution aims to ensure that personal autonomy in medical decisions is protected under the state constitution.
