This resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State that would allow criminal defendants the right to argue jury nullification during their trials. Specifically, it would enable defendants to present to the jury considerations beyond the law, including the facts of the case, the nature of the charges, and the moral implications of the law they are accused of violating. The amendment aims to empower juries to assess whether the law in question is outdated, unfair, or unconstitutional.

If approved by a majority of voters in the next statewide general election, the amendment would take effect on January 1, 2027. The resolution outlines the process for submitting the amendment to the electorate, including the requirement for public notice and the conduct of town, ward, and district meetings in accordance with existing laws for state officer elections.
