Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Wyoming funds prison construction and security
Wyoming keeps a separate state penitentiary construction account, with spending allowed only through legislative approval. Beginning June 30, 2027, it receives up to $10 million each fiscal year from available, uncommitted general fund money. These transfers end July 1, 2038. The account uses Pool A investments through June 30, 2034; afterward, the state treasurer chooses investments, with earnings staying in the account. Upon enactment, the law also requires a $9 million transfer from the prison construction account to the Department of Corrections. That money can only pay to integrate the department's security system.
Wyoming funds its state shooting complex
Upon enactment, the law requires a transfer of up to $10 million from the strategic investments and projects account. The Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources receives the available money for the Wyoming state shooting complex. It can use the funds only to choose a site, build, operate, and maintain the complex.
Wyoming closes its dedicated projects account
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming ends the strategic investments and projects account and moves its money to the general fund. The prison construction account stays separate and is excluded from that transfer. The general fund pays remaining appropriations and obligations made before July 1, 2026. Money required to return to the closed account, and accrued revenue meant for it, instead goes to the general fund. The state auditor must report transfer amounts to the Joint Appropriations Committee by October 31, 2026, and October 31, 2027.
Wyoming redirects mineral trust earnings
Beginning July 1, 2026, qualifying mineral trust earnings go entirely to the legislative stabilization reserve account. They are no longer split equally with the strategic investments and projects account. This covers earnings above 2.5% of the trust's average market value over the previous five years, up to the spending-policy amount. Earnings above both thresholds go into the permanent mineral trust fund, subject to its spending rules. The law also establishes a permanent mineral trust reserve account, with investments managed by the treasurer and earnings kept there. Its formula, dated July 1, 2021, directs quarterly transfers of available, uncommitted money to the general fund. Those transfers support annual spending up to 2.5% of the trust's previous five-year average market value.
