Law

This bill updates a law from 1890 to change how Wyoming manages money earned from state lands. It replaces old financial terms like "interest" with "earnings" to better match how modern investments and accounting work.
The change affects land that the federal government gave to Wyoming when it became a state. Money made from selling or leasing this land is kept in a trust to pay for public schools and universities.
By using the word "earnings," the state gains more flexibility in how it spends and reinvests the money. This is intended to help the education fund grow over time and provide more stable funding for students.
This is a technical update that does not change who owns the land or how it is used. It only changes the rules for the money those lands produce for the state's education system.
