Wyoming Education Trust Modernization Act
Lets Wyoming invest its school trust fund principal, not just interest earnings.
Tradeoff
Gives Wyoming's education fund more investment flexibility to diversify into stocks and other assets. No federal budget cost — the change applies only to Wyoming state law.
What's in it
No effect on the federal budget over any time window.
This is a change to Wyoming state law that modifies what investments the state's education trust is permitted to make—it has zero federal budget cost because it does not involve federal spending, revenue, or enforcement.
