Proposes amendment to Constitution to prohibit State or federal law or regulation from compelling a person to obtain, provide, or participate in health care coverage.

This proposed constitutional amendment (ACR 54) would prohibit both New Jersey state and federal laws from requiring individuals to obtain health insurance, employers to provide health benefits coverage to employees, or healthcare providers (like hospitals or doctors) to participate in any health coverage plan or program. If approved by voters, it would amend New Jersey’s Constitution to add a new provision protecting personal freedom in health care choices. The amendment would need voter approval at the next general election following legislative passage. This is a procedural step toward potentially changing the state constitution’s health care provisions.
