SJ 10 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Right of health care access-constitutional amendment.

This proposed constitutional amendment (SJ 10) seeks to remove the Wyoming Legislature's authority to set "reasonable and necessary restrictions" on individuals' rights to make healthcare decisions and direct payment for care. It would repeal Article 1, Section 38(c) of the Wyoming Constitution, which currently allows the legislature to define such restrictions. The amendment would directly affect all Wyoming residents by eliminating legislative power to limit personal healthcare choices and payment decisions. If approved, it would change the constitutional framework governing healthcare autonomy, though it does not create new rights - it removes existing legislative authority to impose restrictions.
