Benefit Corporation State-by-State Comparison Chart
Currently, six states – California, Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey, Vermont and Virginia – have effective benefit corporation statutes. Next month, New York will become the seventh state, and many other states are currently considering passing benefit corporation statutes. I have recently posted a chart that compares and contrasts the various provisions of the six effective benefit corporation statutes (available – here). The information contained in the chart was gathered as background research for my forthcoming article, which will propose a corporate governance framework for benefit corporations. The article will be presented in Washington D.C. on April 18, 2012 at American University’s symposium on social enterprise.
