Establishing the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.

This joint resolution seeks to formally recognize the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as a valid part of the United States Constitution. It asserts that the proposed amendment, originally from House Joint Resolution 208 of the 92nd Congress, has been duly ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states. A key provision of this resolution is its declaration that the ERA's ratification is valid notwithstanding any time limit previously imposed. This addresses the historical controversy surrounding the original deadline for the amendment's adoption, effectively removing that barrier to its inclusion in the Constitution.
