SJ 8 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

School funding-legislative and executive authority.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Wyoming's Article 7, Section 1 regarding public school funding. It would require the legislature to establish a funding formula for public schools (subject to judicial review for constitutionality) but explicitly state that the *amount* appropriated for that formula cannot be challenged in court. If funding falls short, spending would be reduced uniformly across all schools rather than through court intervention. The amendment directly affects Wyoming's public school funding process, state courts, and the legislature's budget authority. It does not change how funding is calculated but removes judicial oversight of the final appropriation amount.
