| Subject: Yet more leftist idiots in government: Slavery reparations study, diversity mandate for corporate boards advance in California Sun Aug 30, 2020 4:34 am | |
| SACRAMENTO — California lawmakers advanced proposals Saturday to study reparations for slavery and require more diversity on corporate boards, part of a broader push to address racial disparities in the state. AB3121 by Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, would create a task force to study the history of slavery in the United States and its legacy, such as California laws with disproportionately negative effects on Black people. The panel would be expected to make recommendations to the Legislature by June 2022 for remedies that should be made and to educate the public on its findings, including California’s role in perpetuating slavery. The state Senate passed the measure Saturday on a bipartisan 33-3 vote. It moves next to the Assembly, which must act by the end of the legislative session on Monday. The Senate also advanced AB979, which would require corporations headquartered in California to have at least one board member from an underrepresented community by the end of 2021. Those directors could be people of color or identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. The target would increase in 2022: at least two directors from underrepresented communities for companies with a board of between four and eight members, and at least three for companies with nine or more directors. Corporations could be fined if they missed the mark. The measure passed on a 26-8 vote, with most Democrats in support and most Republicans opposed.
