By: Senators Rhett of the 33rd and James of the 28th

A RESOLUTION

Encouraging all states to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment and commending those states which have already done so; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, in 1972, the 92nd Congress of the United States of America adopted a proposed Twenty-eighth Amendment, relating to equal rights, to the United States Constitution; and

WHEREAS, to date, 38 states have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment, which meets the requirements of ratification by three-fourths of the states; and

WHEREAS, if all states ratified such amendment, it would serve as a show of support nationwide for the Equal Rights Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body encourage the remaining states to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment as the Twenty-eighth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and commend those states which have already done so.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to other states.
