SF 70 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Investment modernization-state nonpermanent funds.

This bill modifies Wyoming's Cultural Trust Fund by removing its "inviolable" status to allow more flexible investment strategies. It establishes a new spending rule: annual grants will be limited to 3% of the fund's five-year average market value, calculated progressively over time. Investment earnings from the fund must now be redirected back into the fund's principal (corpus), rather than being spent immediately. The bill primarily affects the Cultural Trust Fund, which supports grants for nonprofit and governmental organizations promoting Wyoming's cultural, historical, and arts heritage.
