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 that it shall now be known as the Twenty-Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. The ERA was first passed by Congress in 1972 and guarantees equality of rights under the law regardless of sex. The bill notes that the ERA has been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of states, but the Archivist of the United States has not yet certified the amendment. The bill argues that adding the ERA to the Constitution is vital to upholding gender equality rights and preventing potential weakening or reversal of progress on women's rights.
