The Equal Rights Amendment bill in the Senate is Changing Committees

Supporters of the Senate bill to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment to the U-S constitution are working to ensure the Senate votes on the bill.

Renny MacKay has more from Jefferson City.

St. Louis Senator Mary Bland is the sponsor of the Equal Rights bill. She has cancelled the last two committee meetings, and says the bill wouldn't have made it out of committee.

She and Senator Joe Maxwell are working to find a different way to get the bill to the Senate floor.

The Senators have submitted the bill under a different classification, most likely sending it to a different committee.

From the state capitol, I'm Renny MacKay.
