KeepTXRed summary

SB 667 requires specified Texas state governmental investment entities to avoid and divest from certain publicly traded Chinese-affiliated entities identified under the Act.

What would change

The comptroller must maintain a list of restricted entities. Covered state governmental entities generally may not acquire listed securities and must identify existing holdings, notify restricted entities, and follow a statutory divestment schedule, subject to defined exceptions and fiduciary safeguards. The Act also adds reporting, enforcement, indemnification, and limits on private causes of action.

Who may be affected

State retirement systems and other covered governmental investors, beneficiaries and taxpayers, investment managers and contractors, the comptroller, the attorney general, and publicly traded entities identified as restricted under the statute.

When it would take effect

The Act took effect September 1, 2025.

Limits and uncertainty

The prohibition applies only to entities meeting the Act's definitions and appearing in the statutory process. The law contains exceptions and safeguards intended to protect covered entities from violating fiduciary duties or causing specified financial harm while divesting.
