California’s Law Governing Gender Composition of Boards of Directors

California’s Law Governing Gender Composition of Boards of Directors

      Previously, I reviewed a recently passed California statute that mandates, with respect to publicly traded companies either organized in or having the principal place of business in California, a requirement of a minimum board composition of women. HERE IS A LINK to my review of that statute.

      There is been recently released in Business Law Today an article questioning the legitimacy of this statute, namely An Unconstitutional Mandate? California’s Gender-Based Board Law and Its Uncertain Legal Future. HERE IS A LINK to that article.
