This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution aimed at modernizing the language in Article I to align with current Minnesota Statutes. Key changes include the replacement of gender-specific pronouns with gender-neutral terms, such as substituting "his" with "the member's" or "the person's." The amendment also clarifies individual rights in criminal prosecutions, voting eligibility, and the responsibilities of public officials. Notably, it asserts that no person shall be deprived of rights without due process and affirms that the enumeration of rights does not exclude other inherent rights retained by the people.

Additionally, the bill introduces a severability clause, which stipulates that if any proposed change is found to violate the Constitution or is deemed more than inconsequential through litigation, that specific change will be rendered ineffective while allowing the remaining changes to remain valid. The proposed amendment is set to be submitted to voters during the 2026 general election, with a ballot question designed to inform voters about the intent and scope of the changes, ensuring clarity regarding the amendment's legal implications.
