Repealing the school foundation program reserve account.
HB 293 repeals Wyoming's School Foundation Program Reserve Account and transfers all existing funds to the Common School Permanent Fund Reserve Account. The bill modifies school finance by redirecting all future revenues that would have gone to the repealed account into the Common School Permanent Fund Reserve Account. It requires the state auditor to report on these transfers to the joint appropriations committee by October 2026 and 2027. This change affects state school funding mechanisms but does not alter current school finance formulas or funding levels.
