Section 75-42b04 - [Expires 7/1/2029] [Divestment from investment funds containing publicly traded securities of countries of concern](a) Notwithstanding the provisions of K.S.A. 74-4921, and amendments thereto, or any other statute to the contrary, a state-managed fund shall divest from any indirect holdings in actively or passively managed investment funds containing publicly traded securities of any country of concern or person owned or controlled by or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a country of concern. Such state-managed fund may submit letters to the managers of each investment fund containing publicly traded securities of any country of concern or person owned or controlled by or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a country of concern requesting that they remove such publicly traded securities from the fund or create a similar actively or passively managed fund with indirect holdings devoid of such publicly traded securities. If a manager creates a similar fund with substantially the same management fees and substantially the same level of investment risk and anticipated return, the state-managed fund may replace all applicable investments with investments in the similar fund in a time frame consistent with prudent fiduciary standards but not later than the 450th day after the date the fund is created. If a manager does not create such similar fund, the state-managed fund shall divest from such indirect holdings in actively or passively managed investment funds.(b)(1) The provisions of this act shall not apply to any real estate or private equity investment commitment made by a state-managed fund prior to July 1, 2024, or to a real estate or private equity investment commitment made by a state-managed fund prior to the date that section 2, and amendments thereto, is amended to include a country of concern, if amended after July 1, 2024.(2) On and after July 1, 2024, a state-managed fund shall not make any new real estate or private equity investment commitment in a person owned or controlled by or subject to the jurisdiction of a country of concern.Added by L. 2024, ch. 65,§ 4, eff. 7/1/2024.
