Wyoming Education Trust Modernization Act
This bill amends an 1890 federal law governing Wyoming's public land trust for education. It updates specific language in sections 5, 7, and 8 by replacing "interest" and "income" with "earnings" when referring to funds generated from the trust lands. The change is purely linguistic, modifying how the trust's financial returns are described in the law. It directly affects Wyoming's system for managing educational trust funds derived from public land sales. The bill does not alter the underlying funding mechanism or distribution of these funds.
