HARRISBURG – By a unanimous vote, the PA Senate passed legislation sponsored by House Majority Leader, Rep. Kerry Benninghoff that would divest the Commonwealth from Russian and Belarusian financial assets and prohibit future investment of Commonwealth funds in financial assets of those countries. Benninghoff said, “With the unanimous support of both chambers of the General Assembly on this legislation, PA is continuing to speak with one voice against this ongoing conflict and is joining with the rest of the free world in taking steps that substantively marginalize Vladimir Putin and his domestic and geopolitical allies.” House Bill 2447 now heads to Gov. Tom Wolf’s desk for his signature.
