Rubber and Rivers: CA Efforts to Combat the Toxic Trail of 6PPD-Quinone, 8/14. Presented by the ACBA Environmental Law Section. In 2020, researchers identified 6PPD-quinone as the toxic agent responsible for mass die-offs of coho salmon in the Puget Sound region. 6PPD-quinone comes from vehicle tires; it forms when 6PPD, the primary antidegradant used in tires, reacts with ground-level ozone. This reaction protects rubber from ozone and oxygen; thus, performing an essential safety function in tires, so it cannot easily be removed. Dr. Kelly Grant and Dr. Manoela Romano De Orte will discuss the emerging science on 6PPD and 6PPD-quionone, as well as the efforts of two California state agencies – Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and State Water Board - on this newly emerging toxicant.

Property Division or Income Available for Support? What Every Family Law Attorney Needs to Know About RSUs, Options, and Equity Compensation, 8/21. Presented by the ACBA Family Law Section. Family law attorneys should understand how RSUs that vest after the marital date of separation are treated in terms of property division as well as income available for support. While RSUs are the "bread and butter" of equity compensation, it is not uncommon for employees of publicly traded tech and biotech companies to receive multiple types of equity compensation, including performance stock units ("PSUs"), non-qualified stock options ("NSOs") and incentive stock options ("ISOs"). Employees of private companies often receive restricted stock or stock options with few opportunities to liquidate them into cash to pay support. Speaker: Laurie Itkin RSVP: https://lnkd.in/g-9WVs7a
