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, and recreational qualities. The amendment designates the state and its subdivisions as trustees of Nebraska's natural resources, mandating them to conserve, protect, and maintain these resources for the benefit of both current and future generations.

The amendment is set to be presented to the voters of Nebraska during the general election in November 2026. The ballot will include language that clearly states the proposed amendment's intent to secure the right to a healthy environment and outline the responsibilities of the state and local governments in managing natural resources. Voters will have the option to approve or reject this amendment.
