A joint resolution removing the deadline for the ratification of the equal rights amendment.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution, titled "A joint resolution removing the deadline for the ratification of the equal rights amendment," proposes to remove any time limit that was previously set for states to approve the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The ERA is an article of amendment intended to be added to the U.S. Constitution, and it was first proposed to the states by House Joint Resolution 208 in the 92nd Congress, which was agreed to by the Senate on March 22, 1972. This resolution states that the ERA will be considered a valid part of the Constitution if ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states, regardless of any deadlines that may have been imposed in the original proposal.
