Bill Summary
Ratify A Proposed Amendment To The Constitution Of The United States Of America Providing That Equality Of Rights Under The Law Must Not Be Denied Or Abridged On Account Of Sex.
AI Summary
This resolution ratifies the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the United States Constitution, which would constitutionally guarantee that legal rights cannot be denied or limited based on an individual's sex. The resolution formally endorses the amendment's core principle of sex-based legal equality and requires the South Carolina Secretary of State to send official certified copies of the resolution to key federal officials, including the National Archives Archivist, the President of the US Senate, and the Speaker of the US House of Representatives. By passing this resolution, South Carolina is adding its support to the ongoing national effort to enshrine gender equality as a fundamental constitutional right, which would provide stronger legal protections against sex-based discrimination across all areas of law and society.
