The resolution proposes the ratification of an amendment to the United States Constitution that guarantees equal rights for men and women. This amendment, originally adopted by Congress on March 22, 1972, states that equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex. It also grants Congress the authority to enforce the provisions of this amendment through appropriate legislation and stipulates that the amendment will take effect two years after ratification.
The State of Arizona's legislature resolves to ratify this proposed amendment and directs the Secretary of State to transmit a copy of the resolution to the President of the United States Senate and the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. This action reflects Arizona's commitment to ensuring equal rights and advancing gender equality at the federal level.
