Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to the investment of state funds; creating the Wyoming generational investment account; specifying the investment of funds in the account; specifying the disposition of investment earnings; providing for the accounting and administration of the account; requiring transfers of funds; making conforming amendments; and providing for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill establishes the Wyoming Generational Investment Account, a permanent trust fund intended to grow over time, by creating a new section in Wyoming Statutes. The State Treasurer will manage and invest funds in this account, including in equities like stocks, with a specific risk profile aiming for high risk-adjusted returns while preserving the principal. Starting July 1, 2026, and annually thereafter, $100 million will be transferred from the Legislative Stabilization Reserve Account to the Generational Investment Account, provided the reserve account's unexpended balance remains above $1 billion. These annual transfers themselves cannot be withdrawn, but their investment earnings will be distributed twenty years after the transfer, with half going to the general fund and half returning to the Legislative Stabilization Reserve Account. The bill also makes conforming amendments to other statutes to reflect the creation of this new account and its provisions, and it takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
