04:57 PM -- SB16-035



Senator Johnston, co-prime sponsor, presented Senate Bill 16-035. The bill creates the Public School Fund Investment Board (board) to oversee investment of the Public School Fund (or Permanent Fund) and broadens the allowable investment options for the fund. The board is charged with establishing policies concerning allowable investments of the fund and the distribution of income and interest earnings. The bill allows the board to hire a private fund manager to advise it about fund investments.



Under current law, the first $21 million in interest earned from investments on the Permanent Fund is used to pay costs of K-12 education through the annual School Finance Act.



Amendment L.008 (Attachment B), which strikes everything below the enacting clause, was distributed to the committee.
