WI AJR36

Proposes adding Section 27 to Article I of the Wisconsin Constitution, establishing a constitutional right to a clean, safe, and healthy natural environment for all people, including future generations

Protected environmental elements include clean water, clean air, healthy soils, self-sustaining ecosystems, and a safe and stable climate

Environmental rights would be subject to strict scrutiny judicial review, meaning any government restriction must serve a compelling state interest and be narrowly tailored with no less restrictive alternative

Designates the state as trustee with a duty to protect Wisconsin's natural resources for current and future generations

Requires passage by two successive legislatures and voter ratification to take effect; introduced May 2, 2025 as first consideration and referred to the Committee on Environment
