What to do with it
As published
2-3-831. Adjustments between principal and income.
(a) Subject to W.S. 2-3-826 and 2-3-827, a trustee may, in the discretion of the trustee, allocate to income, principal or partly to each, the ordinary expenses incurred in connection with the administration, management or preservation of trust property and the distribution of income including the compensation of the trustee and of agents hired by the trustee including investment advisors, custodians or income tax preparation services.
(i) Repealed by Laws 2015, ch. 79, § 3.
(ii) Repealed by Laws 2015, ch. 79, § 3.
(iii) Repealed by Laws 2015, ch. 79, § 3.
(b) If the amount of an estate tax marital deduction or charitable contribution deduction is reduced because a fiduciary deducts an amount paid from principal for income tax purposes instead of deducting it for estate tax purposes, and as a result estate taxes paid from principal are increased and income taxes paid by an estate, trust or beneficiary are decreased, each estate, trust or beneficiary that benefits from the decrease in income tax shall reimburse the principal from which the increase in estate tax is paid. The total reimbursement must equal the increase in the estate tax to the extent that the principal used to pay the increase would have qualified for a marital deduction or charitable contribution deduction but for the payment. The proportionate share of the reimbursement for each estate, trust or beneficiary whose income taxes are reduced must be the same as its proportionate share of the total decrease in income tax. An estate or trust shall reimburse principal from income.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
