AI Summary

This bill memorializes the Massachusetts Delegation and the United States Congress on the need for official and general support of a Federal Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the United States Constitution. The bill expresses that since the adoption of the Equal Rights Amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution in 1976, there has been general public support and legal recognition of the benefits of expanding rights to a wider portion of the population. The bill argues that it is in the interests of respecting and expanding rights across the United States that the U.S. Constitution should include such rights in specific language. The bill authorizes significant notification of Congressional and other federal authorities, as well as appropriate public education and publicity on the values and benefits of the Federal ERA, with such authority residing in the Office of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth.
