This story has been updated with a statement from Attorney General Mark Herring.
The U.S. House of Representatives has, again, approved a resolution to eliminate its self-imposed deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. The proposal faces a tougher road in the Senate.
Virginia Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger was one of 200 co-sponsors to the resolution.
“This arbitrary deadline has gotten in the way of us celebrating real, full, ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment,” Spanberger told VPM. “So removing this deadline is important to the continued progress towards the pursuit of ensuring constitutional equality for everyone.”
