In response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the Illinois Senate has passed a bill that would divest state funds from Russian assets.

Sponsored by Democrat state Rep. Lindsey LaPointe, House Bill 1293 would divest Illinois state funds from Russian debt and develop a method for detecting Russian money laundering in local real estate.
