Permanent Mineral Trust Fund-investments and distributions.

This bill proposes amending Wyoming's constitution to clarify management of the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund (PWMTF). It requires all earnings from fund investments to be transferred annually to a separate earnings fund (currently not specified in the constitution), rather than being deposited directly into the general fund. The amendment also mandates that any losses from investments or loans made from the fund's principal (corpus) must be replaced by the Legislature, ensuring the fund's principal remains intact. This directly affects how Wyoming manages mineral tax revenues - derived from coal, oil, and gas extraction - protecting the fund's long-term stability for future generations.
