HB0095

School Generational Account Act

Last scannedOct 9, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This act creates an inviolate school generational account within the permanent land fund to invest money for long-term benefits in Wyoming's schools.

What it does

  • Creates a new 'school generational account' inside the permanent land fund, which is meant to grow over time through investments.
  • Specifies that this account can only be used for educational purposes and sets rules on how it should be invested to maximize returns while managing risk.
  • Requires earnings from the school generational account to be deposited into a new 'school generational income account' within the permanent land fund, which can then be spent on schools after 22 years.

Who it affects

  • Schools in Wyoming will benefit from earnings generated by the investments made in the school generational account over time.

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill did not pass and is now inactive, so the account has not been created.
  • Details on how exactly the money will grow over time are technical and complex, involving specific investment strategies that may be hard to understand without financial expertise.
