The bill establishes the Wyoming Generational Investment Account, which will consist of funds transferred or appropriated by law and will serve as a permanent trust fund. The state treasurer is tasked with investing these funds in accordance with existing investment laws, with a specific focus on maintaining a risk profile that aligns with a reference portfolio of 85% private equity and 15% private credit investments. The bill outlines a structured transfer system from the legislative stabilization reserve account to the generational investment account, with varying amounts based on the balance of the reserve account, starting from July 1, 2026, and continuing annually until July 1, 2056.

Additionally, the bill specifies that 37.5% of the investment earnings from the generational investment account will be deposited into the general fund after a 30-year period following the initial deposit. The state treasurer is required to report annually on the account's investments to relevant legislative committees. The bill also includes amendments to existing definitions and investment policies, particularly regarding the risk profiles of investments, ensuring that any legal provisions that restrict or expand investment options take precedence over the new regulations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon completion of the necessary legislative processes.
