| Description |
Currently, the Wyoming Constitution allows the legislature to authorize the investment of public employee retirement systems funds and permanent state funds in equities, such as stock or shares in private or public companies. Permanent funds of the state include funds designated as permanent funds by the Constitution. The Wyoming Constitution does not allow the state to invest any other funds in equities.
The adoption of this amendment would allow the legislature, by two-thirds vote of the members of both houses, to authorize the investment of additional specified state funds in equities.
Constitutional amendments in Wyoming require approval from a majority of all voters casting a vote in the election, which means that filling out a ballot but not voting on Amendment A had the same effect as voting "no."
