Senate Bill 267
Committee: Finance and Taxation EducationSponsor: Senator Donnie Chesteen
Analyst: JT Mathis Date: 05/03/2023
Senate Bill 267 as reported by the Committee on Finance and Taxation Education establishes
the Athletic Trainer Secondary School Incentive Program under the Alabama Board of Athletic
Trainers to award grant funds in an amount not to exceed $7,500 per grant, to local boards of
education as a recruitment and retention incentive of qualified athletic trainers at rural, 1A, 2A,
3A, and Title I secondary schools. This bill authorizes the Legislature to appropriate funds to the
Board for the incentive program, which could increase the obligations of the Education Trust
Fund, by an undetermined amount dependent upon the number of local boards of education that
apply for and receive grant funds. This also provides that the amount of grants awarded annually
shall not exceed $2 million and any unexpended funds shall remain with the board to be used for
the program.
This bill would increase the administrative obligations of the Alabama Board of Athletic
Trainers by an undetermined amount dependent upon the effort required to administrate the
Incentive Program pursuant to the provisions of this bill.
