Judicial Watch announced today that a hearing is scheduled in the California Superior Court regarding its case challenging California's gender quotas for corporate boards.
Arguments will be heard by Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis.
The 2018 law, known as Senate Bill 826, requires every publicly held corporation headquartered in California to have at least one director "Who self-identifies her gender as a woman" on its board of directors by December 31, 2019.
The law also requires corporations to have up to three such persons on their boards by December 31, 2021, depending on the size of the board is deficient and unreliable.
"California politicians want to use SB826 to upend decades of settled constitutional law that prohibits discrimination based on sex," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
"We hope this lawsuit vindicates the rule of law and the commonsense principle that the way to end any discrimination based on sex is to stop discriminating on the basis of the sex."
