Bill 119 hjres 80, also known as the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that seeks to guarantee equal rights for all citizens regardless of sex. The ERA was first introduce...
d in Congress in 1923 and has been a topic of debate and discussion for nearly a century.
The main purpose of the ERA is to ensure that women and men are treated equally under the law and that discrimination based on sex is prohibited. The amendment would provide a constitutional basis for challenging gender-based discrimination in areas such as employment, education, and healthcare.
Bill 119 hjres 80 seeks to establish the ratification of the ERA, which requires approval from three-fourths of the states in order to become part of the Constitution. Currently, the ERA has been ratified by 38 states, but there is ongoing debate about whether the deadline for ratification has expired. Supporters of the ERA argue that it is necessary to enshrine gender equality in the Constitution and provide legal protections for women. Opponents, however, raise concerns about the potential impact of the ERA on issues such as abortion rights and same-sex marriage. Overall, Bill 119 hjres 80 represents a significant step towards achieving gender equality in the United States and has the potential to have far-reaching implications for women's rights. The debate over the ERA is likely to continue as lawmakers and advocates on both sides of the issue work to secure the necessary support for ratification.
