Bill > HR1001

This resolution expresses support for the ethical investment of all state funds and public resources in Georgia, urging various state entities, including retirement systems and the State Treasurer, to ensure that public financial assets are not invested in companies complicit in perpetuating violence. This includes companies operating in or with Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Sudan (particularly those linked to the Rapid Support Forces or RSF, a paramilitary organization involved in atrocities), and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where conflict minerals fuel violence. The resolution also supports divesting from companies whose supply chains rely on such conflict minerals and calls for transparent reporting and regular reviews of all state investments to align with ethical standards, referencing guidelines from the American Friends Service Committee.
