HCR 25-1003

House Concurrent Resolution 25-1003 proposes a constitutional amendment that would add the right of parents to direct their children's upbringing, education, and care to Colorado’s list of inalienable rights. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, this change would ensure that parents have legal authority over these aspects of their children's lives. The bill has been signed but is still in the early stages of the legislative process, meaning it needs further consideration and approval before reaching the ballot for voter decision.
