Aside from all the litigation it would spur because of its headline subject matter, it also looks like the commission at its center would likely run into problems, including:
* the proposed statute defines an exact racial/ethnic/gender composition for the publicly-paid state commission, in fairly flagrant violation of Article I, Section 31 of the State Constitution: “The State shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.”
* Requires commission members to have a bachelor’s degree from an instutution accredited by the University of California, which os a degree-granting institution but does not actually accredit degree-granting institutions, so, as written, it is impossible for anyone to be eligible for the commission.
