Ask Baltimore County Pension Fund for the records
Israel Bond purchases are not centrally reported, and this office has no public disclosure we can find. The only way to know is to ask. It takes one email, and the law is on your side.
To: [records officer of Baltimore County Pension Fund]
Subject: Public records request: Israel Bonds holdings
To the records officer of Baltimore County Pension Fund:
Under the Maryland Public Information Act, I request all records of purchases, holdings, sales, and maturities of bonds issued by the Development Corporation for Israel (Israel Bonds) or by the State of Israel, held by Baltimore County Pension Fund, including amounts, purchase dates, coupon rates, and maturity dates, from January 1, 2015 to the present.
I am a resident of Maryland. Please acknowledge receipt of this request and respond within the time required by law. If any portion is withheld, please cite the specific legal exemption and release all non-exempt material.
Thank you,

Act on Maryland's holdings
● Keep the pressure on
Tell Maryland State Retirement and Pension System: no new Israel Bonds
This office is tracked as a current or suspected holder. Bond maturities are decision points, and sustained public pressure is exactly how Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Maryland won.

Subject: Do not reinvest maturing Israel Bonds
Dear Maryland State Retirement and Pension System:
I am a Maryland resident writing about public funds invested in Israel Bonds (Development Corporation for Israel). These bonds are unrestricted loans to the Israeli government during its war on Gaza, and all three major credit rating agencies have downgraded Israel's debt since October 2023.
As these bonds mature, I urge Maryland State Retirement and Pension System not to reinvest in Israel Bonds, and to publish a full public accounting of past and current holdings.
Thank you,
