The California Constitution provides that the Legislature may by statute prohibit retirement board investments if it is in the public interest to do so, and providing that the prohibition satisfies specified fiduciary standards. Existing law prohibits the boards of the Public Employees' Retirement System and the State Teachers' Retirement System from investing public employee retirement funds in a company with active business operations in Sudan and Iran, as specified. This bill would additionally prohibit the Public Employees' Retirement System and the California State Teachers' Retirement System from investing public employee retirement funds in a company with business operations that are described as the manufacture of firearms or ammunition, as specified. The bill would require the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System and the Teachers' Retirement Board of the State Teachers' Retirement System to sell or transfer any investments in a company with these business operations. This bill would require these boards to report to the Legislature any investments in a company with these business operations and the sale or transfer of those investments, subject to the fiduciary duty of these boards, by January 1, 2015, and every year thereafter.
