House Joint Resolution 28, sponsored by Bulso, proposes an amendment to Article I of the Tennessee Constitution that would prohibit any individual from being compelled to undergo medical treatment, even during a declared state of emergency. The resolution defines "medical treatment" broadly to include medical procedures, drug administration, vaccinations, and any other interventions aimed at diagnosing, treating, preventing, or mitigating physical or mental conditions.
Additionally, the resolution grants the Tennessee General Assembly the authority to enact legislation necessary to enforce this new provision. The proposed amendment will be referred to the One Hundred Fifteenth General Assembly for consideration and will be published on the official websites of the Secretary of State and the General Assembly, as required by the state constitution.
