What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits, with exceptions, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board from investing in securities of any company that manufactures or imports firearms, ammunition, or firearms accessories (firearms company). Within 30 days after the effective date of the bill, SWIB must make its best efforts to identify firearms companies and make a list of these companies. SWIB must update this list at least quarterly. For each company included on this list, SWIB must send a written notice to the company informing the company that SWIB is prohibited from investing in the company and of the reason for this prohibition. After 30 days following the effective date of the bill, SWIB may not make any new investment in securities of any company included on the list. If at this time SWIB already maintains investments in companies included on the list, SWIB must divest itself of these investments within approximately six months. If SWIB later updates its list and adds a company in which SWIB already maintains an investment, SWIB must divest itself of the investment within six months after the company is added to the list. However, these investment prohibitions do not apply to investments made by external managers with whom SWIB has contracted, investments in mutual funds and other commingled instruments, and investments in private equity funds. The bill also requires SWIB to include, in an annual report that under current law SWIB submits to the legislature, SWIB's most recent list and other information relating to SWIB's divestment from firearms companies.
