Article 1 of the Nevada Constitution sets forth certain inalienable rights of an individual. (Nev. Const. Art. 1) This joint resolution proposes to amend the Nevada Constitution by adding a new section to Article 1 which: (1) guarantees each individual in this State a fundamental right to reproductive freedom; (2) authorizes the State to regulate abortion care after fetal viability with certain exceptions; and (3) prevents the State from penalizing, prosecuting or taking any other adverse action against an individual or entity for exercising the right to reproductive freedom or for aiding or assisting another individual in exercising his or her right to reproductive freedom.
If this resolution is passed by the 2023 Legislature, it must also be passed by the next Legislature and then approved by the voters in an election before the proposed amendment to the Nevada Constitution becomes effective.
