FISCAL NOTE
House Bill 146
Committee: Ways and Means Education Sponsor: Representative Danny Garrett
Analyst: John Friedenreich Date: 04/08/2024
House Bill 146 as introduced would provide for a 2% salary increase for public education
employees of the several local boards of education, the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind
(AIDB), the Department of Youth Services School District (except employees covered under the
state's merit system), the Alabama School of Fine Arts, the Alabama High School of
Mathematics and Science, the Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering and the
two-year postsecondary institutions under the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Community
College System for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2024. The total estimated cost of this
salary increase is $104.5 million, including the associated retirement and employer payroll
expenses, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025 and each year thereafter.
In addition, the bill would increase the obligations of the funds of the various local boards of
education for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025 and each year thereafter by
undetermined amounts dependent upon the extent that local boards
of education have employees paid from federal or local funds or provide a pay raise on salary
supplements.
