Education; broadcast of public K-12 school sporting events further provided for

SB 76 would expand Alabama public K-12 schools' authority to control broadcasting of school sports events. Currently, schools can only decide which media organizations broadcast regular season games; this bill adds explicit authority for schools to determine media coverage of all post-season events, including playoffs and championships. The law gives schools sole authority to select media partners and contract for broadcasts of both regular and post-season sporting events involving their schools. The bill takes effect October 1, 2026.
