Bill > SCR1019

This resolution ratifies the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the United States Constitution, 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 ERA, originally passed by Congress in 1972, grants Congress the power to enforce its provisions through legislation and was intended to become effective two years after ratification. This particular resolution, from the Arizona Legislature, formally approves the ERA, signifying Arizona's agreement with the amendment, and directs the Secretary of State to send copies of this ratification to the leaders of both houses of the U.S. Congress.
