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.
