The Protecting Pennsylvania’s Investments Act, S.B. 928, requires the state Treasurer’s Office, Public School Employees Retirement System, State Employees Retirement System, and Pennsylvania Municipal Retiree System to divest within 36 months the nearly $400 million they directly invest in foreign companies doing business in Iran and Sudan (see PA Terror-Free Investing Bill Sent to Governor).
