This amendment replaces the bill's comprehensive governance changes with a more limited measure requiring a study on increasing and electing University of Wyoming trustees, rather than directly implementing those changes.
- Changes the bill's title from implementing trustee governance changes to requiring a study regarding increasing board members and providing for their election. (Page 1, lines 2-9)

(Pages 2-15 and Page 16, lines 1-5)
- Requires the study to determine costs of increasing trustees and holding elections, assess potential benefits and costs, and provide recommendations on whether the legislature should propose a constitutional amendment. (Page 16, lines 18-39)
- Establishes a reporting deadline of November 1, 2025, for the study findings to be submitted to the joint education interim committee and joint appropriations committee. (Page 16, lines 41-42 and Page 17, lines 1-2)
- Appropriates $10,000 from the general fund to the University of Wyoming board of trustees to conduct the study, available from the effective date through June 30, 2026, with unexpended funds reverting to the general fund and the appropriation excluded from the university's standard budget.
