CO HCR1005

Submits a proposed constitutional amendment to Colorado voters on November 5, 2024, establishing a Parents' Bill of Rights as Section 32 of Article II of the Colorado Constitution.

Grants parents the right to direct their child's education, upbringing, and moral or religious training; choose between public school, private school, or other school choice options; and consent to medical or mental health-care treatment.

Provides parents the right to consent or withhold consent to reproductive health education programs, seek medical or religious immunization exemptions, opt out of data collection and student surveys, and review school library materials and classroom materials.

Requires parents be promptly notified if state employees suspect criminal offenses against their child, be notified of changes to their child's education and health services, and be informed if their child is experiencing gender incongruence.

Prohibits health-care providers, practitioners, or facilities from providing treatment to a child without first obtaining written or documented parental consent, and requires 55% voter approval for the amendment to become part of the state constitution.
