ACTUARIAL IMPACT STATEMENT
 
79TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 29, 2005

TO:
Honorable Craig Eiland, Chair, House Committee on Pensions & Investments
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB815 by Burnam (Relating to a prohibition on the investment of state funds in private business entities doing business in Sudan.), As Introduced

HB 815 prohibits state funds from being invested in entities or obligations of a private corporation or other private business entity doing business in the Democratic Republic of Sudan.  State funds that qualify for this provision include funds under the state constitution, public retirement systems, institutions of higher education, and other entities part of state government that manage or invest state funds. The provisions of the bill would impact the investment decisions of a public retirement system that has holdings in a company that does business in Sudan, prohibiting them from adding to those holdings.

 

The bill, if enacted, will have no significant actuarial effect because it does not propose to change the funding or obligations of any public retirement system.
