This joint resolution eliminates the deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, which prohibits discrimination based on sex. The amendment was proposed to the states in House Joint Resolution 208 of the 92nd Congress, as agreed to in the Senate on March 22, 1972. The amendment shall be part of the Constitution whenever ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states.

ERA SJ Res 6. These senators are co-sponsors of Senate Joint Resolution 6, which, if passed in tandem with Rep. Jackie Speier's House Joint Resolution 38, would remove the deadline, leading to a clear path for ratification of the ERA, which aims to amend the constitution to provide equal protection under the law regardless of sex. Federal Employee Paid Leave H.R. 1534 and would institute the first federally funded paid family medical leave policy. The Paycheck Fairness Act S. 270, introduced by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and the House companion bill, H.R. 7, introduced by Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), which would update and strengthen existing law (H.R. 3351), the fiscal 2020 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill. If the legislation passes the Senate and signed into law, it would override the proposed freeze in federal pay in 2020. It would also be the largest pay raise that federal employees have received in ten years.

ERA SJ Res 6. These senators are co-sponsors of Senate Joint Resolution 6, which, if passed in tandem with Rep. Jackie Speier's House Joint Resolution 38, would remove the deadline, leading to a clear path for ratification of the ERA, which aims to amend the constitution to provide equal protection under the law regardless of sex. Federal Employee Paid Leave H.R. 1534 and would institute the first federally funded paid family medical leave policy. The Paycheck Fairness Act S. 270, introduced by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and the House companion bill, H.R. 7, introduced by Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), which would update and strengthen existing law (H.R. 3351), the fiscal 2020 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill. If the legislation passes the Senate and signed into law, it would override the proposed freeze in federal pay in 2020. It would also be the largest pay raise that federal employees have received in ten years.
