Summary

The bill lets a school‑employed coach spend personal funds on items such as food, transportation, physical therapy, and rehabilitation for the athletes they coach, as long as a parent provides written consent and the coach reports the expense to the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). It caps the amount at $15,000 per team each year and adds related rules for physician liability, student medical exams, ECG access, and background‑check exemptions.
