The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 37 proposes an amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution that establishes the right of the people, including future generations, to a clean, safe, and healthy natural environment. This encompasses access to clean water, clean air, healthy soils, self-sustaining ecosystems, and a stable climate. The resolution emphasizes that these rights are fundamental and cannot be infringed upon, requiring strict scrutiny in judicial review. It also mandates that the state act as a trustee to protect Wisconsin's natural resources for all citizens, ensuring equitable protection across communities.

To become effective, this constitutional amendment must be adopted by two successive legislatures and ratified by the public. The resolution outlines the specific language for the new section of the constitution and includes provisions for the numbering of any new amendments that may conflict with it. The proposed amendment will be referred to the legislature chosen at the next general election and must be published for three months prior to that election.
