Maryland's Senate passed an Iran divestment bill.

The bill, unanimously approved April 1, would require state pension funds to divest from businesses that do more than $20 million business annually with Iran's energy sector, the Baltimore Jewish Times reported. A similar measure is under consideration in the Maryland house.

A number of other states have passed similar laws.
