Oregon Revised Statutes Public Financial Administration § 293.841

Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) Consistent with fiduciary standards, including the provisions of ORS 293.721 and 293.726, the State Treasurer shall adopt a statement of policy that describes a process of engagement with managers who:

(a) Are engaged by the Oregon Investment Council or the State Treasurer for the active management of investment funds consisting of the Public Employees Retirement Fund referred to in ORS 238.660 through the purchase and sale of publicly traded equities; and

(b) Have invested such funds in scrutinized companies.

(2) The policy required under subsection (1) of this section must require the State Treasurer, to the extent practicable, to identify and send a written notice to the managers described in subsection (1) of this section. The notice shall encourage the managers, consistent with fiduciary standards, including the provisions of ORS 293.721 and 293.726, to:

(a) Notify scrutinized companies with which the managers have made investments of the State Treasurer's policy adopted pursuant to subsection (1) of this section; and

(b) Not later than 90 days giving the notice, end investments in the scrutinized companies and avoid future investments in the scrutinized companies, as long as the managers may do so without monetary loss through reasonable, prudent and productive investments in companies generating returns that are comparable to the returns generated by the scrutinized companies.

(3) A notice given by a manager to a scrutinized company under subsection (2) of this section shall advise the scrutinized company that the scrutinized company may comment in writing to the State Treasurer to dispute the identification of the company as a scrutinized company.

(4) If the State Treasurer determines that a company given notice under subsection (3) of this section is not a scrutinized company, the State Treasurer shall notify the relevant manager of the determination.

(5) The State Treasurer shall advise the Oregon Investment Council if a manager to whom the notice was given under subsection (2) of this section has not informed the State Treasurer within 180 days after the date the notice was given that the manager has ended the manager's investment in scrutinized companies or plans to divest from the manager's investment in scrutinized companies.
