AI Summary

This bill requires the Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management (PRIM) Board to identify and divest from companies with active business operations in Myanmar (also known as Burma) within 12 months, except for companies providing humanitarian assistance. The bill also prohibits the PRIM Board from acquiring securities of companies on the "scrutinized companies list" with active business operations in Myanmar, with some exceptions. The PRIM Board is required to report regularly on its compliance with the divestment requirements. The bill will expire once the U.S. Department of State removes sanctions against Myanmar.
