Proposes a constitutional amendment establishing the right to make medical decisions, including decisions on gender-affirming care

Summary

The resolution would add a new Section 37 to Article I of the Missouri Constitution, stating that every adult can choose their own medical treatment as long as it is voluntary, provided by a licensed physician, and follows accepted evidence‑based standards. It explicitly includes the right to obtain gender‑affirming hormones and surgeries, and bars the state from penalizing or restricting those choices unless it uses the least restrictive means to protect health. The measure failed to advance beyond referral.
