Explanation of Senate Joint Resolution No. 193
This resolution proposes an amendment to the state constitution to ensure that every person has the right to clean air, water, soil, ecosystems, and environment, as well as a safe climate. The state is required to protect these rights for all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or economic status. It also specifies that funds designated for protecting natural resources cannot be diverted. These rights can be enforced by the residents of the state and are considered as important as other inalienable rights.
