What’s in it

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to medical treatment specifying “The right of a person to refuse any medical procedure, treatment, injection, device, vaccine, or prophylactic shall not be questioned or interfered with in any manner. Equality of rights and liberty under the law and in the domain of public accommodations shall not be denied, abridged, or restricted due to the exercise of the right under this section.” The resolution, if adopted, would be published and then referred to the next general assembly (91st) for adoption before being submitted to the electorate for ratification.
