The bill, S. 48, is a joint resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that seeks to ratify a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution. This amendment asserts that equality of rights under the law must not be denied or abridged on account of sex. The resolution outlines that the amendment will take effect two years after ratification and grants Congress the power to enforce its provisions through appropriate legislation.

Upon enactment, the bill mandates that certified copies of the resolution be sent to key federal officials, including the Archivist of the United States and the leaders of both houses of Congress. This action reflects South Carolina's commitment to supporting the proposed constitutional amendment aimed at ensuring gender equality under the law.
