What’s in it
AI summary This resolution would change the Iowa Constitution to protect a person's right to refuse any medical treatment, vaccine, or injection. It ensures that no one can be treated unfairly under the law for making these medical choices. If approved by voters, this right would apply to everyone living in the state.1
