Bill > HB239

This bill mandates a 2% salary increase for most public school employees in Alabama, including certificated personnel (teachers and administrators) and education support personnel, beginning in the fiscal year 2026-2027 and continuing in subsequent years, with specific provisions for the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind (AIDB) and two-year postsecondary institutions. The bill clarifies that these increases are in addition to any existing step increases or local salary adjustments, though it excludes superintendents and certain other supplements like bonuses for National Board Certification. The State Budget Officer is responsible for allocating funds for these pay raises, which are to be incorporated into the annual Education Trust Fund budget. The act also includes a severability clause, meaning if any part is found unconstitutional, the rest of the bill will still stand, and it will become effective immediately upon passage.
