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. The resolution emphasizes the ongoing relevance of constitutional equality for men and women, both in the U.S. and globally.

The resolution outlines the specific text of the proposed amendment, which includes provisions for enforcement by Congress and stipulates that the amendment would take effect two years after ratification. Following the resolution's passage, certified copies will be sent to various federal officials, including the President and the Secretary of State, to formally communicate Florida's ratification of the ERA.
