The resolution proposes the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the United States Constitution, which aims to ensure that equality of rights under the law cannot be denied or abridged based on sex. Initially approved by Congress in 1972, the ERA was sent to the states for ratification with a deadline that was later extended to 1982, during which 35 states ratified it. In 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure to eliminate the ratification deadline retroactively, and a companion measure was introduced in the Senate, highlighting the ongoing relevance of constitutional equality for men and women.

The Florida Legislature expresses its support for the ERA by officially ratifying the proposed amendment, which includes provisions for Congress to enforce its terms through appropriate legislation. The resolution mandates that certified copies of the ratification be sent to key federal officials, including the President and the Secretary of State, to ensure that the state's action is recognized at the national level. This resolution underscores Florida's commitment to achieving constitutional equality for all citizens, reflecting a broader movement towards gender equality both in the United States and globally.
