What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This proposed constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2009 legislature on

first consideration, provides that the people have the right to enter into private

contracts with health care providers for health care services and to purchase private

health care coverage, and prohibits enactment of any law that requires any person

to obtain or maintain health insurance coverage or to participate in any health care

system or plan.

A constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive legislatures,

and ratification by the people, before it can become effective.
