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 authority to enforce its provisions through appropriate legislation.

If ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years of its submission, the proposed amendment will become part of the Constitution. The bill also mandates that certified copies of the resolution be sent to the Archivist of the United States, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives following its enactment.
