Connecticut has new regulations for the use of artificial intelligence in the State Employee Health Plan and Partnership Plan, which serve more than 270,000 members.

Four New York City municipal pension funds are investing $300 million into a trust connected to the country’s biggest alliance of labor unions in an attempt to address a dire housing shortage in the five boroughs, Comptroller Mark Levine announced Thursday.
The new investment in the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust marks the first allocation of its kind since Levine announced a plan to direct $4 billion in city pension funds over the next four years to build more apartments.

The Public School Fund Investment Board (PSFIB) is investing $10 million from the Public School Permanent Fund to help Colorado public school employees purchase homes in the communities where they work, marking the first transfer from the fund’s new Community Investment Portfolio.
“As a former educator, I know that school employees are the backbone of our communities, but the cost of buying a home can make it difficult for them to put down roots where they work,” said Colorado State Treasurer Dave Young. “This investment addresses that challenge head-on while protecting the long-term value of the Public School Permanent Fund.”

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, Trustee of the New York State Common Retirement Fund, released the following statement today on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proposed rule to rescind Rule 14a-8, the shareholder proposal rule:
"Today, Trump’s SEC turned its back once again on American investors, abandoning its core mission to protect them. For more than 80 years, the shareholder proposal process has been a cornerstone of American corporate governance that has strengthened board oversight, improved risk management, and fostered productive dialogue between investors and companies. With this attempt to rescind Rule 14a-8, the SEC has chosen to allow corporate management to shield themselves from accountability rather than protect the investors it was created to serve. I will continue to fight to defend the NYS pension fund’s rights as a shareholder against these reckless attacks.
