H.J.Res.0780

Proposing an amendment to the Tennessee Constitution to recognize the right to food and seed exchange.

This bill proposes an amendment to Article XI of the Tennessee Constitution to recognize the right to food and seed exchange. It states that individuals have the right to acquire and consume food of their own choosing, and to save and exchange seeds, provided they do not trespass, steal, poach, or abuse private property, public lands, or natural resources. The amendment does not limit the state's power to regulate or prohibit the possession of seeds and the growth of plants producing controlled and illegal substances.
