This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution to clarify the treatment of all investment earnings from the common school account within the permanent land fund. The amendment specifies that all investment earnings, rather than just interest and income, are available for appropriation and must be utilized exclusively for the benefit of public schools in Wyoming. The proposed changes involve replacing the terms "interest and income" with "earnings" in several sections of Article 7 and Article 18 of the Constitution, ensuring that all forms of investment returns are included in the funding for public education.

Additionally, the amendment mandates that any portion of the earnings from the perpetual school fund that is not expended in a given year must be added back to the fund, thereby reinforcing the commitment to maintaining and growing the resources available for public schools. This change aims to enhance the financial support for education in Wyoming by broadening the definition of what constitutes available funds for public schools, ensuring that all investment returns contribute to the educational system.
