Person's Rights Related to Their Children

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

House Concurrent Resolution 26-1004 proposes a constitutional amendment for Colorado voters to consider in the 2026 election. If approved, it would add a new right to the state constitution: parents' authority to guide their children's upbringing, education, and care. This affects all parents in Colorado by potentially reinforcing their role in making decisions about their children’s lives. The bill has been signed but is still in the early stages of the legislative process, meaning that it needs further approval before voters can decide on it in 2026.
