Constitution of the state; technical changes made to certain terms in Article I to be consistent with language in Minnesota Statutes, and constitutional amendment proposed.

HF 2694 proposes a technical amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to update specific wording in Articles I and IV to align with current Minnesota Statutes. It does not change substantive rights or create new policies, but adjusts terms like "disfranchised" to match modern statutory language in sections covering voting rights, criminal trials, due process, and legislative procedures. The bill directly affects the state constitution's text, ensuring consistency between constitutional language and existing statutes. This is a procedural update with no direct impact on citizens or new legal requirements. The amendment would require voter approval before taking effect.
