A Los Angeles judge has ruled that California’s landmark law requiring women on corporate boards is unconstitutional
Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis said the law that would have required boards have up to three female directors by this year violated the right to equal treatment. The ruling was dated Friday.
“More women on corporate boards means better decisions and businesses that outperform the competition,” Atkins said in a statement. “We believe this law remains important, despite the disheartening ruling.” In the three years it has been on the books, it’s been credited with improving the standing of women in corporate boardrooms.
“Any attempt by the secretary of state to collect or enforce the fine would likely exceed its authority,” Padilla wrote.
