Bill > HR204

This Resolution urges the President of the United States to officially publish the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the Twenty-eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The ERA, first proposed by Congress in 1972, states that equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex. The Resolution argues that the ERA has met the constitutional requirements for amendment, as three-fourths of the states have ratified it, and that any time limits previously attached to its proposal by Congress were not part of the amendment's text and therefore do not invalidate the ratification process. It also calls on Congress to pass a joint resolution affirming the ERA and encourages other states to adopt similar resolutions.
