Equal Rights for Men and Women

SCR 198 is a resolution proposing to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution, which would require equal legal rights for all citizens regardless of sex. This resolution does not create new laws or directly affect individuals; it is a procedural step seeking to complete the constitutional ratification process for the ERA. If adopted, it would advance the ERA's path to becoming part of the Constitution, though it requires approval from other states and the federal government. The resolution focuses solely on the constitutional amendment process, not on implementing specific policies.
