Providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 25) removing the deadline for the ratification of the equal rights amendment.

Bill 118 H.Res. 1483 is a resolution that provides for the consideration of H.J. Res. 25, a joint resolution that aims to remove the deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The ERA is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that would guarantee equal rights under the law regardless of sex.

The resolution allows for the House of Representatives to debate and vote on H.J. Res. 25, which seeks to remove the original deadline for ratification of the ERA. The ERA was first proposed in 1923 and passed by Congress in 1972, with a deadline for ratification set for 1979. However, only 35 states had ratified the amendment by the deadline, falling short of the required 38 states for ratification.

H.J. Res. 25 seeks to remove the deadline in order to allow for further ratification of the ERA. Proponents argue that the ERA is necessary to ensure equal rights for all individuals, regardless of gender, and that removing the deadline is a necessary step towards achieving gender equality in the United States. Opponents of the ERA argue that the amendment is unnecessary and could have unintended consequences. They also argue that the deadline for ratification has already passed and should not be extended. Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 1483 sets the stage for a debate on the removal of the deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, a significant and longstanding issue in the realm of gender equality and constitutional rights in the United States.
