AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to public funds in Wyoming. It establishes a spending policy for the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund, where 5% of the previous 5-year average market value can be spent annually. It also requires the transfer of investment earnings above this spending policy from the general fund to the Legislative Stabilization Reserve Account (LSRA) starting in fiscal year 2027. The bill limits the use of the LSRA, allowing appropriations or transfers only to permanent funds or the general fund. It also allows the LSRA to be used to supplement the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund's spending policy if investment earnings are insufficient. The bill repeals various provisions related to the distribution and spending of severance tax revenues.
