Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)

Mar. 17, 2021 | H.J. Res. 17

Thirty-eight states have passed an Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution stating that women have equal rights. This satisfies the requirement that three-fourths of states must vote in favor of the amendment. However, there is an additional congressionally imposed deadline that this bill would remove in order to allow for the amendment’s passage. This bill passed the House on March 17, 2021.
