This joint resolution proposes a new constitutional amendment for South Dakota voters to decide on at the next general election, which would add protections allowing people to reject certain medical procedures. The amendment would be added to Article VI of the state constitution, establishing a constitutional right to refuse these medical treatments. This measure requires voter approval before it becomes part of South Dakota's constitution.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
