Senate Resolution 24-004 Summary

• Marks the 101st anniversary of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) proposal and notes widespread bipartisan support for its adoption.

• Asserts that women's rights remain inadequately protected despite progress, citing ongoing challenges in bodily autonomy, equal pay, and protection from sexual harassment.

• Notes that 85% of UN member states have constitutional gender equality provisions and that the ERA has been ratified by 38 states (the number required for adoption).

• Calls on Congress to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, which would establish that "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."

• Recognizes Colorado's historical leadership on women's rights and urges completion of efforts to enshrine the ERA into the U.S. Constitution.
