UPDATE on SB 252: Thanks to all who took action on SB 252, which would require the California Public Employees Retirement System and the State Teachers Retirement System to divest their holdings from the largest oil companies. Unfortunately, this bill will not advance due to last-minute, hostile amendments imposed by the Assembly Public Employees and Retirement Committee. Sen. Gonzalez pulled SB 252 from the Committee and vowed to come back next year with a new bill.
