The North Dakota House has voted to rescind the state's ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, declaring that it expired in 1979. March 20, 2021, at p.m. BISMARK, N.D. (AP) The North Dakota House has voted to rescind the state's ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, declaring that it expired in 1979.
The South Dakota Legislature ratified the ERA in 1973, but in 1979 passed Senate Joint Resolution 2 which required the ERA be ratified in the original time limit set by Congress or be rescinded.
The House resolution also speaks to the effective date of the ERA: Section 3 of the ERA states the amendment shall take effect two years after the 38th state ratifies, which was Virginia on January 27, 2020. Therefore, the ERA is in effect as of today, January 27, 2022.
In addition to Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, the United States has two other commonwealths, Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands, but they are of a different kind. They are not states, and have only a nonvoting representative in Congress.
North Dakota Specifically, thanks to the omission of the word executive from a single sentence, there was no constitutional requirements for members of the state's executive branch to take an oath of office.
Therefore, it is most likely that the actions of the five states Idaho, Kentucky, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Tennessee that voted to rescind their ratification of the ERA between 1972 and 1982 are a legal nullity.
Five decades after the ERA was approved by Congress in 1972, Virginia ratified the amendment in 2020, and the quorum of 38 states was finally reached. But there is a problem. When it was approved, the amendment was initially meant to be ratified by 1979, a deadline Congress later extended to 1982.
North Dakota Since it was adopted on October 1, 1889, the North Dakota Constitution has been amended 163 times.
The North Dakota Constitution was adopted by the Constitutional Con- vention on August 17, 1889, and ratified on October 1, 1889, by vote of the people of the territory that would become the state of North Dakota.
On Jan. 27, two years after the 38th state ratified it, the Equal Rights Amendment should have gone into effectyet the fight for constitutional equality continues.
