SJR 1 Alaska Senate · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to abortion.

SJR 1 proposes adding a new constitutional amendment to Alaska's state constitution that would prohibit the state from recognizing a right to abortion or requiring public funding for abortions. The amendment, if approved by voters, would amend Article I to state that "nothing in this constitution may be construed to secure or protect a right to an abortion." This change would directly affect Alaskans by removing constitutional protections for abortion access and preventing state-funded abortion services. The bill must be submitted to voters at the next general election for approval, as required by Alaska's constitutional amendment process.
