AN  ACT to amend the state finance law and the general municipal law, in
  relation to enacting the Iran divestment act of 2012

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  This  act  shall  be  known and may be cited as the "Iran
Divestment Act of 2012".
  S 2. The legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:
  (a) In imposing United States sanctions  on  Iran,  Congress  and  the
President  have  determined  that  the illicit nuclear activities of the
Government of Iran, combined  with  its  development  of  unconventional
weapons and ballistic missiles, and its support of international terror-
ism,  represent  a  serious threat to the security of the United States,
Israel, and other United States allies in Europe, the Middle  East,  and
around the world.
  (b)  The  International  Atomic  Energy  Agency  has repeatedly called
attention to Iran's unlawful nuclear activities, and, as a  result,  the
United  Nations  Security  Council  has  adopted  a  range  of sanctions
designed to encourage the government of Iran to cease  those  activities
and  comply  with its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Prolifera-
tion of Nuclear Weapons (commonly known as the  "Nuclear  Non-Prolifera-
tion Treaty").

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
