The resolution proposes the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the United States Constitution by the Florida Legislature. Initially approved by Congress in 1972, the ERA aims to ensure that equality of rights under the law cannot be denied or abridged on the basis of sex. Although the amendment had a ratification deadline that was extended to 1982, recent legislative actions in 2021 by the U.S. House of Representatives and a companion measure in the Senate sought to eliminate this deadline retroactively, highlighting the ongoing relevance of constitutional equality for men and women.

The resolution outlines the specific provisions of the proposed amendment, which includes a mandate for Congress to enforce its provisions through appropriate legislation and states that the amendment would take effect two years after ratification. It concludes by directing the Secretary of State of Florida to send certified copies of the resolution to key federal officials, ensuring that the ratification is formally communicated at the national level.
