	Jeanne Ives on Civil Rights

Voted NO on ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment

Legislative Summary & OnTheIssues notes: Provides for the ratification of the proposed equal rights amendment (ERA) to the US Constitution.

The ERA was passed by Congress in 1972 and sent to the states for ratification.
In order to be added to the Constitution, it needed approval in 38 of the 50 states by 1982.
Only 35 states approved the amendment; Illinois did NOT ratify at that time.
The Illinois House but not the Senate passed an ERA ratification bill in 2003, while the Senate but not the House did so in this bill in 2014.

The ERA says:

Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the US or by any state on account of sex.
The Congress shall have the power to enforce the provisions of this article.
This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 39-11 on May 22; Rep. Jeanne Ives voted NAY; bill then died in House committee. Source: Illinois legislative voting records: SJRCA 75 , May 27, 2014
