The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of West Virginia, specifically adding a new section to Article III, which focuses on the Bill of Rights. This new section, designated as section 23, establishes the right of all individuals to a clean and healthy environment, encompassing pure water, clean air, healthy soils, and a safe climate. It emphasizes the state's role as a trustee of West Virginia's natural resources, mandating the conservation, protection, and maintenance of these resources for the benefit of current and future generations. The amendment also asserts that these rights and duties are self-executing and subject to strict scrutiny.

The resolution calls for the proposed amendment, referred to as the "Healthy Water and Air Amendment," to be submitted to the voters of West Virginia during the next general election in 2026. The summarized purpose of the amendment is to ensure that all people, including children and future generations, have the right to a clean environment and that the state's natural resources are preserved and protected.
