Removing the deadline for the ratification of the equal rights amendment
Feb. 13, 2020 | H.J. Res. 79
This joint resolution would remove the deadline for states to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which would add the following amendment to the U.S. Constitution: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” In 2020, the thirty-eighth state ratified the ERA, which satisfies the requirement that three-fourths of the states must vote to ratify constitutional amendments, but the deadline for ratification has passed. This joint resolution passed the House on Feb. 13, 2020.
This is Good for working people.
