The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 10 proposes an amendment to Section 18 of Article I of the Wisconsin Constitution, aimed at safeguarding the freedom to gather in places of worship during a state of emergency. This amendment, which has already been considered by the 2023 legislature, seeks to prevent the state or any political subdivision from ordering the closure of or prohibiting gatherings in religious venues in response to emergencies, including those related to public health. The resolution has been introduced by a group of representatives and is cosponsored by several senators, and it has been referred to the Committee on Judiciary for further consideration.

If approved by the 2025 legislature, the proposed amendment will be submitted to voters for ratification in the November 2026 election. The ballot will pose a question regarding the amendment, specifically asking whether the constitution should be amended to prohibit state or local authorities from restricting gatherings in places of worship during emergencies. This resolution emphasizes the importance of religious liberty and the right to worship freely, even in times of crisis.
