Sec. 24. (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the system is permitted to cease divesting and to reinvest in certain restricted businesses on the restricted business list if evidence shows that the value for all assets under management by the system on a fund‘s behalf becomes equal to or less than ninety-nine and five-tenths percent (99.5%) of the value of all assets under management by the system on a fund’s behalf, including the businesses divested under section 16 of this chapter.

     (b) As provided by this section, any cessation of divestment or reinvestment shall be strictly limited to the minimum steps necessary to avoid the contingency set forth in subsection (a).

     (c) For any cessation of divestment, reinvestment, and subsequent ongoing investment authorized by this section, the board shall submit a report in an electronic format under IC 5-14-6 to the executive director of the legislative services agency for distribution to the members of the general assembly before any initial reinvestment. The report shall be updated annually thereafter as applicable, setting forth the reasons and justifications for the decision to cease divestment, reinvest, or remain invested with businesses engaged in boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel activity.
