Proposing a constitutional amendment establishing an individual's right to personal reproductive autonomy.

HJR 24 proposes adding a constitutional amendment to Texas law that would establish a fundamental right to personal reproductive autonomy for all individuals residing in Texas. This right would protect decisions about pregnancy, contraception, and other reproductive health care, with any government restriction only allowed if justified by a "compelling state interest" using the "least restrictive means." The amendment would require voter approval on the May 2, 2026 ballot, with the question phrased as "The constitutional amendment establishing an individual's right to personal reproductive autonomy." If approved, this would become part of the Texas Constitution, directly affecting all Texas residents' legal rights regarding reproductive health.
