Bill Summary
FOR the purpose of urging the Administration of President Joseph R. Biden to publish, without delay, the federal Equal Rights Amendment as the Twenty-eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and urging the U.S. Congress to pass a joint resolution affirming the Equal Rights Amendment as the Twenty-eighth Amendment; and generally relating to the federal Equal Rights Amendment.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution expresses the opinion of the Maryland General Assembly that 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, has met the requirements of Article V of the U.S. Constitution to become the 28th Amendment. It urges President Biden's administration to officially publish the ERA as the 28th Amendment without delay and calls on the U.S. Congress to pass a joint resolution affirming its status, while also encouraging other states to adopt similar resolutions. The resolution highlights that the ERA was passed by Congress in 1972 and has since been ratified by three-fourths of the states, arguing that any time limits previously placed on its ratification were in the preamble and not part of the amendment text itself, and therefore do not invalidate the states' ratifications.
