Summary

Existing law establishes various boards and commissions within state government. Under existing law, it is the policy of the State of California that the composition of these state boards and commissions broadly reflect the general public, including ethnic minorities and women. Under existing law, the Governor and other appointing authorities are responsible for nominating to these boards and commissions persons of different backgrounds, abilities, interests, and opinions. This bill, on and after January 1, 2024, would require the composition of each appointed state board and commission to have a specified minimum number of women board members or commissioners based on the total number of board members or commissioners on that board. The bill would also require the office of the Governor to collect and release, annually, at a minimum, aggregated demographic data provided by state board and commission applicants, nominees, and appointees.
