The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Rhode Island, specifically adding Section 25 to Article 1, known as the "Green Amendment." This amendment asserts that all individuals in the state possess an inherent and inalienable right to clean air, clean water, healthy soil, a life-supporting climate, and the preservation of the environment's natural and recreational values. It designates the state as a trustee of Rhode Island's natural resources, mandating that these resources be conserved and protected for the benefit of all people, including future generations, without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic status.

The resolution outlines the process for submitting this proposed amendment to the qualified electors of the state for approval during the next statewide general election. It mandates that the Secretary of State publish the amendment in local newspapers and ensure it is included in the notices for town, ward, or district meetings. These meetings will be conducted in accordance with existing laws governing elections for general officers, ensuring that voters are informed and able to participate in the decision regarding this significant environmental amendment.
