Summary
The bill proposes amending Alabama’s 2022 Constitution to state that parents have a fundamental right to direct their child’s education, upbringing, care, and control. It also requires the government to show a compelling interest and use the least restrictive means before any law can burden that right. The amendment would be placed on a future ballot for voter approval.
