This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution by adding a new section, Article 1, Section 40, which establishes a right of individual privacy. The amendment asserts that the right to privacy is essential to the well-being of a free society and explicitly states that this right shall not be infringed. The proposal is set to be submitted to the electors of Wyoming for approval or rejection during the next general election, requiring a majority vote to be ratified.
Additionally, the resolution mandates that the Secretary of State endorse a statement clarifying that the adoption of this amendment will affirm the importance of individual privacy in maintaining a free society. This initiative reflects a commitment to protecting personal privacy rights within the state's constitutional framework.
