AI Summary
This bill establishes the Taxpayer Endowment Trust Fund Act, creating a new trust fund managed by the Invest in Oklahoma Board to promote long-term economic growth and fiscal stability by saving and investing a portion of state revenues, particularly from energy resources, with the goal of generating income to reduce reliance on income taxation. The fund's assets will be invested prudently and diversified, with earnings retained by the fund to grow its principal, known as the "corpus." Distributable earnings, capped at 4% of the fund's average valuation, can only be withdrawn after the fund reaches $1 billion or after a ten-year lockout period, and these earnings will be certified by the State Board of Equalization and deposited into the General Revenue Fund. The bill also amends existing laws to clarify terminology related to the Revenue Stabilization Fund, modify revenue certification and apportionment processes, and allows the Taxpayer Endowment Trust Fund to participate in the Invest in Oklahoma Program, while also adjusting the apportionment of gross production taxes on oil and natural gas and corporate income taxes to direct a portion of revenues exceeding a five-year average to the new trust fund.
