* Are your corporation's minutes up to date? California general corporations must hold annual meetings of their directors and shareholders. If your corporation hasn't been having these annual meetings, check your corporation's bylaws to find out when they were supposed to happen. Perhaps it's time to consult a corporate attorney to bring your corporation's minutes up to date.

* Employers beware -- the definition of "disability" in California's Fair Employment and Housing Act has been expanded. Some mental and physical conditions may qualify as a "disability" under California law that won't qualify under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. If you are dealing with a potential disability issue, it's more important than ever to understand who is and is not covered under state and federal disabilities laws.
