Equal Rights Amendment - Study I-100

    In 2022, the Legislature authorized the Commission to "study, report on, and prepare recommended legislation to revise California law (including common law, statutes of the state, and judicial decisions) to remedy defects related to (i) inclusion of discriminatory language on the basis of sex, and (ii) disparate impacts on the basis of sex upon enforcement thereof. In studying this matter, the commission shall request input from experts and interested parties, including, but not limited to, members of the academic community and research organizations. The commission’s report shall also include a list of further substantive issues that the commission identifies in the course of its work as topics for future examination..." (2022 Cal. Stat. res. ch. 150.)

    Materials related to the Commission’s work on that topic will be collected on this page.
