Wyoming asks Congress to allow school and university fund earnings

The law requests Wyoming’s congressional delegation to introduce a bill. It asks Congress to change the 1890 Act of Admission to replace “interest” and “income” with “earnings” in Sections 5, 7, and 8. This aligns rules with how the state invests its permanent funds, now over $5.6 billion. It aims to let all investment earnings, including capital gains, support K-12 schools and the university. This request depends on Congress passing the amendment.
