A development of historic proportions. After more than three decades, Nevada is poised to become the 36th state to ratify the ERA out of the 38 states needed to amend the United States Constitution. The Nevada Senate passed the ERA bill earlier. It is anticipated it will be heard by their State Assembly (House) committee next Tuesday.
