Subject: Interfering in Private Business Operations by Mandating Diversity Reporting
Description: This bill would outrageously expand the power of the federal government in order to send a chilling effect to companies striving to find officers for their boards. Under the bill, companies that are publicly-traded are forced to report the racial, ethnic and gender composition of their boards of directors and executive officers. ACU recognizes that this bill is designed to impose government control over private hiring decisions and ultimately radicalize private companies by shaming, and eventually forcing, private companies to create quotas for appointing board members based on factors other than merit. ACU believes in equal rights under the law for all, vehemently opposes discrimination and believes those who discriminate will face repercussions in the marketplace. ACU opposes this measure which is designed to harass companies and foster discrimination based on race and sex.
Result: Agreed to, 281-135
