HB 1745 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for prohibition against denial or abridgment of equality of rights because of sex.

This bill proposes adding a new constitutional amendment to Pennsylvania's state constitution that explicitly prohibits denying or limiting rights based on sex. It would directly affect all Pennsylvanians by requiring the state to guarantee equal rights regardless of gender, strengthening legal protections against sex-based discrimination. The key mechanism is amending the constitution to include this explicit guarantee, making such discrimination unconstitutional. Currently, the bill has been referred to the Judiciary committee for review.
