This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Wyoming Constitution to establish that certain statutorily created trust funds are inviolate, meaning their principal cannot be expended without legislative action. The amendment aims to protect the principal of five specific trust funds: the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust Account, the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, the 988 System Trust Fund, the Wyoming Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Trust Fund Account, and the trust account within the Wyoming Game and Fish Fund. The amendment outlines that the funds will remain inviolate, and it sets forth conditions for the investment and expenditure of both the principal and the investment earnings of these funds.

The proposed amendment includes provisions that the investment earnings from these funds will be available for expenditure as specified by law, and it allows the legislature to regulate how these earnings are used. Additionally, it provides for the possibility of establishing an annual spending guarantee or limit for the funds, ensuring that any expenditures align with the intended purposes of each fund. By enshrining these protections in the state constitution, the amendment seeks to provide a stronger legal framework than the current statutory protections, thereby enhancing the security of these trust funds.
