Bill > HR601

This Resolution formally ratifies a proposed Amendment to the United States Constitution, specifically the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which 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 acknowledges that the ERA was initially proposed by Congress with a time limit for ratification, but argues that this time limit, as seen in historical precedents like the 27th Amendment, is not part of the amendment itself and can be disregarded by Congress. It emphasizes that Congress has the power to determine the validity of state ratifications, especially when considering the nation's political, social, and economic conditions, and concludes that the ERA remains a meaningful and timely issue, thus ratifying it.
