Modernizing Investment Rules for State Funds
Last scannedOct 24, 2026, 2:19 AM
In one sentence
This act aims to change how certain state funds are managed and invested, allowing more flexibility while ensuring they remain protected.
What it does
- Removes the inviolate status of specific statutory funds to allow them to be invested in a way that maximizes returns without risking their core value.
- Establishes spending policies for these funds based on a percentage of their market value, allowing for more predictable and sustainable funding for grants.
- Redirects investment earnings back into the main fund rather than pooling them separately.
Who it affects
- State agencies and organizations managing cultural, historical, and wildlife trust funds in Wyoming.
Limits and unknowns
- This bill did not pass in its session.
- It does not specify how much money will actually be available for grants each year beyond setting rules on calculation methods.
- The exact impact on investment returns and fund stability is uncertain without implementation.
Plain language
Terms to know
- Inviolable
