California's new gender quota law, SB 826, has attracted widespread attention. The law mandates that a publicly held domestic or foreign corporation principal executive offices, according to the corporations SEC Form 10-K , are located in California must have a minimum of one female director on its board by the close of 2019. No later than the close of 2021, the corporation must have a minimum of three female directors, if its number of directors is six or more; a minimum of two female directors if its number of directors is five, or a minimum of one female director if its number of directors is four or fewer. Some readers have questioned the definition of "female" for purposes of the statute.
The California legislature has defined "gender" in several different codes (e.g., Civ. Code § 51; Educ. Code § 10.7; and Ins. Code § 10140). Recently, it has recognized at least three genders - female, male, and nonbinary. See California Bill May Spur Rewriting Gender Boilerplate. I have been unable, however, to locate any existing California statute that defines "female", "male" or "nonbinary".
Given the substantial penalties that may be assessed for failure to have the prescribed minimum number of female directors, who counts as a female director could be an important question. The legislature provides a Delphic answer ("γνῶθι ἑαυτόν") by defining a "female" for purposes of the gender quota requirements as "an individual who self-identifies her gender as a woman, without regard to the individuals designated sex at birth". Cal. Corp. Code § 301.3(f)(1).

No problem, just have half the board “identify as female” and watch the heads explode in Brown’s office .... there are rules Moonbeam that you made it possible!!!!!!
Best of all, they can declare themselves “genderfluid” and identify as female during board meetings only!
I wish they’d keep their gender fluids to themselves!
I don’t care what California law says. Your plumbing defines your sex. If your plumbing is wrong get it fixed. But until you do you’re what god created you as.
So one man on the board can self-identify as female. And we’re done.
Sexist. they have pantsuits.
I hope dancing isn’t her real job.
OK freepers with crystal balls, what are going to be the consequences of this mandate from the lunatics in Sacramento?
That's how I read it. Who are we to "assume" someone's gender? Isn't that what they've been preaching all along?
If Captain Marvel does not go Binary, does that mean she counts as two?
so, in other words, California just pushed biological females to the back of the bus in preference for trannies masquerading as females in board rooms - same as in sports, politics and preferential state job openings hiring.
Note to such publicly held companies in California:
LEAVE while you can. Be the leader of the pack-—not just the next dog in the line.
Nevada has NO income taxes......a lower cost of living, and lower housing.
You can OWN a gun in Nevada !!!! You can buy ammo without registering for every cartridge. ( I can even show you a liquor store/gun & ammo store combination-—no kidding).
Sell your commercial property before Jerry brown strips you of your Prop 13 protection.
Bring your employees. Get away from the Nanny state.
PLEASE LEAVE your California politics there, also.
Funny- when I left So Calif 25 years go, the ballots in Los Angeles County were printed in 63 different languages & dialects,,,along with the ballot pamphlets.
In California, that's a club sandwich, modern versions having two layers which are separated by an additional slice of bread (or more than that).
In Massachusetts it’s a club sandwich——and probably everyplace else.
.
I meant it as a joke, meaning more than two genders in California. Wife and I often get club sandwiches, all across the country. This California craziness about boards having to have a number of females on it is simply absurd. What’s next, requiring at least one illegal alien?
Sorry,sense of humor lacking right now-—I shouldn’t be posting here in the East,should be retiring.
Off to bed. :-)

Your “plumbing” cannot be “wrong,” except in the sense of not working as it was designed to function - see a urologist - and “fixed” means “back in natural working order”: pay the urologist. You are male or female from conception until you die.
I can see a “Non-natural woman” being appointed, then causing a quandary when it decides to be “a man again”....
LOL!
