Daily Journal has published the article “AB 979: California requires more diversity on boards,” written by Akin Gump public law and policy partner Dario Frommer. The article discusses a new law in the Golden State requiring, by the end of 2021, “more diversity on the boards of publicly held domestic or foreign corporations” that are headquartered there.
Frommer writes that the law has already drawn at least one legal challenge. It is also unclear, he says, “how California corporations will react to the new diversity requirements.” He concludes, though, by noting that lawmakers “are clearly betting that AB 979 and renewed awareness about discrimination and racism” will change any preexisting attitudes.
