HB 89 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

State investment returns-adequate reserve funding.

HB 89 redirects excess state revenue above specific thresholds ($459 million for 2023 and $429.2 million for 2024) into a new Legislative Stabilization Reserve Account instead of distributing it to Wyoming’s public school foundation program. The bill requires the state treasurer to maintain a minimum balance in this reserve and prohibits using these funds for other purposes, making them "inviolate." It modifies how mineral trust fund investment returns are allocated, shifting money that would have supported schools toward state budget stabilization. This change directly affects school funding distributions and state treasury management of permanent trust funds.
