Bill > SJRes38

This joint resolution establishes the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), effectively removing the original time limit that was placed on its adoption. Specifically, the resolution declares that despite the previous time constraints outlined in House Joint Resolution 208 from the 92nd Congress (which was originally passed in the Senate on March 22, 1972), the proposed constitutional amendment is now considered valid and part of the United States Constitution. The resolution affirms that the ERA has been ratified by the legislatures of at least three-fourths of the states, which is the constitutional threshold required for amending the Constitution. By passing this resolution, Congress is formally recognizing the ERA's legitimacy and removing any legal doubts about its status, potentially ending a decades-long effort to establish constitutional equality regardless of sex.
