12F.1 LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT.
The general assembly is deeply concerned over the human rights
situation in Sudan which calls for stepped-up international efforts
to end the crisis in Sudan's Darfur region, and concurs with United
States policy which has officially declared that genocide is ongoing
in the Sudan, and demands that the government of Sudan bring an end
to these atrocities. Therefore, the general assembly intends that
state funds and funds administered by the state, including public
employee retirement funds, should not be invested in companies that
provide power production-related services, mineral extraction
activities, oil-related activities, or military equipment to the
government of Sudan, or are complicit in the genocide in Darfur,
given the ongoing genocide in that country, the previous atrocities
perpetrated by the government of Sudan, and the abysmal human rights
situation in that country. Section History: Recent Form
