The proposed constitutional amendment, set to be voted on during the statewide primary election in May 2026, seeks to amend Article I, section 1 of the Nebraska Constitution. The amendment emphasizes that all individuals possess inherent and inalienable rights, specifically highlighting the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Additionally, it introduces a provision that guarantees persons with disabilities access to public facilities, lodging, transportation, and comprehensive healthcare services that meet their needs, ensuring their integration into community life regardless of age or degree of disability.

Furthermore, the amendment reaffirms the right to keep and bear arms for various lawful purposes, including self-defense and recreational use. It asserts that these rights cannot be denied or infringed upon by the state or its subdivisions, and underscores the principle that governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed. The proposed amendment will be presented to voters with a ballot question specifically addressing the rights of persons with disabilities.
