The proposed constitutional amendment aims to establish a new section, I-32, in Article I of the Nebraska Constitution, which would affirm the right of all individuals to a clean and healthy environment. This includes access to pure water, clean air, healthy soils, balanced ecosystems, a safe climate, and the preservation of Nebraska's natural, cultural, scenic, recreational, and healthful qualities. The amendment also designates the state and its subdivisions as trustees of Nebraska's natural resources, with a responsibility to conserve, protect, and maintain these resources for the benefit of both current and future generations.

The amendment is set to be presented to voters during the general election in November 2026, following the procedures outlined in Article XVI, section 1 of the Nebraska Constitution. The ballot will include language that clearly states the purpose of the amendment, allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the establishment of environmental rights and the state's role in safeguarding natural resources.
