Bill	Public employee retirement systems: prohibited investments: Turkey.	The California Constitution grants the retirement board of a public employee retirement system plenary authority and fiduciary responsibility for investment of moneys and administration of the retirement fund and system.

Existing law prohibits the boards of administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System and the State Teachers' Retirement System from making investments in certain countries and in thermal coal companies, as specified, subject to the boards' plenary authority and fiduciary responsibility for investment of moneys and administration of the systems.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20192020	AB 1320	California AB 1320 (20192020)	bill	Public employee retirement systems: prohibited investments: Turkey.	enacted	Nazarian	8	30	9	2019-02-22	2019-10-02	openstates	ocd-bill/92085137-845c-4a37-8e3d-e85a6c66b1f7	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1320	c4777ba93da76e714a29eefb69ec80b19472d236b131fa8ea4d2050e5cc613ce	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
