Administration of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.; publish without delay the Equal Rights Amendment; encourage
Impact
The enactment of SR535 would serve as a formal encouragement to the Biden Administration and Congress to recognize the validity of the ERA, facilitating its publication as an amendment. Should this occur, it would affirm gender equality, prohibiting discrimination based on sex under both federal and state laws. This would potentially expand legal protections against gender-based discrimination, significantly impacting employment, education, and social services across states, aligning with ongoing civil rights movements.
Summary
Senate Resolution 535 (SR535) encourages President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. to publish the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the Twenty-eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The resolution acknowledges the historical context of the ERA's proposal and ratification process, emphasizing that three-fourths of the states have already ratified the amendment. It asserts that there is no constitutional time limit for states to ratify amendments, disputing any limitations imposed by Congress during the amendment's proposal phase in 1972.
Contention
Contention surrounding the ERA primarily revolves around the validity of state ratifications and the necessity of a specified timeframe for ratification. Proponents argue that attempts to rescind ratifications are unconstitutional and that gender equality should constitutionally be recognized without restrictions. Critics raise concerns about how this could further influence the legislative landscape regarding other civil rights issues and question the political implications of this amendment in current socio-political contexts.
