Summary
- Oklahoma’s attorney general is firing the outside legal team defending a state law prohibiting state pension systems from working with companies limiting investments in the oil and gas industry.
- The decision comes after a judge issued a temporary injunction blocking the law’s enforcement, citing potential success in a lawsuit against the measure.
- The law is part of a trend of Republican-sponsored bills nationwide aimed at protecting fossil fuel companies from financial constraints.
- Despite concerns, major financial institutions have largely rejected calls to divest from the oil and gas industries.
