Congressional Summary of S 2273
Wyoming Education Trust Modernization Act
This bill provides Wyoming with more flexibility to invest the principal of its permanent school fund by allowing the state to use earnings generated from investment of the fund rather than only interest.
By way of background, Congress created the fund when Wyoming became a state by granting certain federal lands to be held in a trust for the state. Proceeds from school trust land sales, exchanges, or disposals are deposited into the fund to support public schools.

Can't believe they're messing with public land in Wyoming for "educational purposes." What a joke. This bill is just another way for politicians to line their pockets while destroying our natural resources. Long term effects? More greed and less nature.

I think this bill is good for Wyoming schools. It will help students get better education and prepare them for the future. This bill will also help teachers get more resources and support. I am happy that this bill is being passed because it will make a positive impact on education in Wyoming.
