Book excerpt: "You advise that the Federal and State Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives has voted unfavorably on a measure introduced to repeal a concurrent resolution adopted by the 1972 Legislature ratifying a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution which provides that "[e]quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." The chairman of that committee, you advise, has indicated that the committee action was based primarily upon opinions issued by this office, which are alleged to conclude that once a state has ratified an amendment to the United States Constitution, it is powerless to rescind or withdraw that approval. Contrary to some apparently widespread misconceptions, this office has at no time issued such an opinion or supported that position."
