FISCAL NOTE
Senate Bill 267
Committee: Finance and Taxation EducationSponsor: Senator Donnie Chesteen
Analyst: JT Mathis Date: 05/03/2023
Senate Bill 267 as introduced 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 secondary schools 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 fund 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.
