House Joint Resolution No. 3 proposes an amendment to Section 26, Article III of the Idaho Constitution, aimed at prohibiting the legalization of unlawful drugs unless such legalization is approved by a two-thirds majority of the Idaho Legislature. The resolution outlines several findings by the Legislature, emphasizing the negative health, community, environmental, and economic consequences associated with the legalization and normalization of unlawful drug use. It highlights concerns such as increased addiction rates, public health risks, and the potential for illegal drug markets to thrive, ultimately arguing that a drug-free environment is essential for the well-being of Idaho's citizens.

The resolution directs that the proposed amendment be presented to the electorate for a vote in the next general election, asking whether Section 26 should be amended to require legislative approval for the legalization of unlawful drugs. It also mandates the Legislative Council to prepare necessary statements and instructs the Secretary of State to publish the amendment and related arguments as required by law. The resolution reflects a commitment to maintaining public health and safety in Idaho by ensuring that any changes to drug legality undergo rigorous legislative scrutiny.
