Prohibits investment of pension and annuity funds by State in entities that avoid Superfund obligations to State.
This bill prohibits New Jersey's state pension and annuity funds from investing in businesses identified under federal Superfund law (CERCLA) as responsible for environmental cleanup costs at contaminated sites, specifically if those businesses filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying. It directly affects the state's pension funds and companies that evade Superfund obligations through bankruptcy filings after EPA designation. The key mechanism requires the state Treasury to divest such investments within three years of identification, with "business affiliates" (entities owning 20%+ of the debtor) also covered. The bill targets entities like YPF S.A., which acquired Maxus Energy (responsible for Newark's Diamond Alkali Superfund site) and filed bankruptcy after EPA's $1.38 billion cleanup finding.
