California Senate approves $11 billion South Africa divestment plan
The California Senate passed a sweeping measure by 27 to 11 to compel state pension and university funds to divest over 11 billion in securities from firms doing business in South Africa. The bill, likely to pass the Assembly and receive Governor Deukmejian's signature, would dwarf prior actions nationwide and could prompt other states to act while pressuring the Reagan administration over federal sanctions. The move follows similar actions in New Jersey, Iowa, and other states and faces a possible presidential veto.
