This bill proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution that seeks to repeal Article 1, Section 38(c), which currently grants the legislature the authority to impose reasonable and necessary restrictions on an individual's right to make health care decisions and direct payment for health care. By eliminating this provision, the amendment aims to expand individual rights related to health care access.
If ratified by a majority of voters in the next general election, the amendment would remove the legislature's ability to regulate health care decision-making, thereby enhancing personal autonomy in health care matters. The Secretary of State will endorse a statement indicating that the adoption of this amendment is intended to strengthen the existing individual right to health care access.
