Assembly votes to ratify women's equal rights amendment
The California Assembly approved AIR 17 56 to 11 to ratify the women's equal rights amendment, sending the measure to the Senate amid fears it could unravel protective labor laws including the $1.85 minimum wage. The debate cited potential effects on taxes and groups like the Elks Club, with party lines split and a note that the Senate may rehear the measure.
