Texas Passes Anti-ESG Law Restricting State Pension Investments

Summary

Texas enacted legislation prohibiting state pension funds from making ESG-focused investments.

Score Rationale

This is a state legislative/policy action, not a corporate environmental event or sustainability claim. There is no actual environmental harm to measure (G=8, minimal due only to potential disclosure gaps from restricting ESG reporting). There is no corporate greenwashing claim being made (C=12, low score reflects only the political/media nature of the announcement). This falls outside the scope of corporate greenwashing detection - it's a governance/political event about investment restrictions, not a company making misleading environmental claims while causing harm.
