The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 131 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to establish an individual and fundamental right to privacy for the people. This resolution, introduced by a group of senators and co-sponsored by numerous representatives, seeks to create a new section (1m) in Article I of the constitution that explicitly recognizes privacy as a necessary component of a free society.
To become effective, this constitutional amendment must be adopted by two successive legislatures and subsequently ratified by the public. The resolution outlines the process for numbering the new provision and mandates that the proposed amendment be published for three months prior to the next general election, where it will be presented to voters for approval.
