The Pacific Legal Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against a new state law, SB826, signed into law by Jerry Brown on his way out the door. The law mandates the publicly held corporations in California must have no fewer than one woman on their boards by the end of 2019 and two or more by 2021 for boards of five. The mandatory quota is three or more for boards of six or more. (I am unsure if they have to be actual females or if transexual females or temporary female identity persons also count.)
The Pacific Legal Foundation is a libertarian based group. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Creighton Meland Jr. a member of the board of OSI Inc. a manufacturer of security and health care system. Their are currently seven on the board. All are male.
