SB193 requires publicly held domestic corporations to have a gender-diverse board of directors. It establishes reporting requirements for the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, along with penalties for noncompliance.
The Hawaii State Senate passed SB193 by a vote of 24 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation keeps less qualified individuals off boards and forces publicly held domestic corporations to embrace the woke culture. This is also a gross amount of government overreach, interfering in business and the free market.
