Bill Summary
A resolution memorializing Congress to resolve that the requirements have been met to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and that it shall now be known as the Twenty-Eighth Amendment to the Constitution.
AI Summary
This bill urges the U.S. Congress to pass resolutions recognizing that the requirements have been met to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and declare it as the Twenty-Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The ERA was first passed by Congress in 1972 and sent to the states for ratification. After Virginia became the 38th and final state to ratify the amendment in 2020, the bill calls on Congress to formally certify the ERA as part of the Constitution, which would provide clear legal protections against sex discrimination.
