Bill Title: Reinserts the provisions of the bill as amended by Senate Amendment No. 2 with the following changes. Provides that the State Treasurer, upon the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Board (instead of upon the request of the Board), shall manage the domestic and international proxy voting activity for shares held directly by the System or Investment Board and execute required ballots on behalf of the System or Investment Board. Provides that the Board's consent may be revoked at any time upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board. Requires the State Treasurer to provide access to communications with its third-party proxy voting service, if any, used in preparing the comprehensive proxy voting reports requested by the Board. Authorizes the Board to provide the State Treasurer with guidance for proxy voting, which, if provided, the State Treasurer shall consider when voting. Provides that in order to facilitate the State Treasurer's proxy voting activities and before the State Treasurer begins proxy voting activities, the State Treasurer and the Board shall enter into an intergovernmental agreement concerning costs, proxy voting guidance, reports and other documents, and other issues. Removes language providing that all costs associated with the State Treasurer's management of proxy voting activity shall be borne exclusively by the State Treasurer. Provides that on or before September 1, 2023 (instead of January 1, 2025), and annually thereafter, the Board shall publish its guidelines for voting proxy ballots and a detailed report on its website describing how the Board is considering sustainability factors. Makes other changes. Effective immediately (instead of January 1, 2024).
