Summary
House Concurrent Resolution 20‑56, a proposed constitutional amendment to establish a right to refuse medical mandates, was placed on the consent calendar; a member on the floor described the measure as critically important and urged support ahead of floor action.
House Concurrent Resolution 20‑56, which would place a proposed constitutional amendment before voters to establish an individual's right to refuse medical mandates, was presented on the Health and Human Services consent calendar.
A floor speaker described the measure as deeply significant, arguing that protecting the individual right to refuse medical mandates is essential to bodily autonomy. That speaker urged colleagues to vote yes when the matter reached a final vote.
The presentation on the consent calendar generated a brief exchange but no recorded amendments or roll-call votes in the transcript. Staff signaled availability for questions and the sponsor stood to explain the resolution’s intent. The transcript shows the resolution was put on the third‑read consent calendar for later floor consideration.
