PrintMaryland Senate passes Iran bill
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.
