If this vote passes (which I expect it will), it will be the final step towards adding the ERA to the constitution.
The amendment would come into effect on 1/15/2022 due to the 2 year delay clause in the text of the Amendment. Until then, all that is left to do is wait it out.

(Title changed due to the uncertainty as to whether the ERA has indeed been ratified.)

By the way, the vote to ratify was BIPARTISAN in BOTH chambers.

4 Republicans voted to ratify in the State House, and 7 voted to ratify in the State Senate.

The Biden Administration needs to arrest all the members of this panel for crimes the same way he has been charging 1/6 insurrectionists. I am dead serious when I say that I consider efforts to cancel a duly ratified constitutional amendment to be equally disruptive to the rule of law as efforts to block a duly elected President from taking office.

Well good thing no Court has blocked a duly ratified amendment.

It should be noted this panel included a Biden appointee and an Obama appointee.

The idea that the ERA was adopted is incredibly fringe.  
2/3rd of Congress followed by 3/4th of states legally approves a constitutional amendment. The ERA reached that threshold, and efforts to block it are just as much an attack on the rule of law as efforts to prevent a duly elected President from taking office in the way that happened on 1/6.
