What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2011 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.
