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. Despite 35 states ratifying the amendment, it has not yet achieved the necessary support for final adoption. In 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure to eliminate the ratification deadline retroactively, and a similar measure was introduced in the Senate.

The Florida Legislature's resolution emphasizes the ongoing relevance of constitutional equality for men and women, noting that many other nations have already achieved such equality. The resolution formally ratifies the proposed amendment and instructs the Secretary of State of Florida to send certified copies of the resolution to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress, to ensure that the ratification is recognized at the national level.
