North Carolina H937 allocates tax proceeds from sports betting to provide salary supplements for athletic coaches in public schools. Eligible coaches must be employed full-time and receive a salary supplement of at least $3,000 annually. The bill mandates that public school units that previously provided non-State funds for these supplements must continue to do so. Unexpended funds at the end of the fiscal year will support youth sports programming through the North Carolina Alliance of YMCAs, Inc. The act becomes effective July 1, 2025, and applies starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
