The bill appropriates $169,633 from the State General Fund to the Coalition Against Domestic Violence for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. It mandates that before any funds are released, the Coalition must submit an operations plan for fiscal year 2026 and an audited financial statement for fiscal year 2024 to the Director of Finance. Additionally, the bill stipulates that the funds will be budgeted and allotted according to the Budget Management Act and relevant sections of the Code of Alabama.
Furthermore, the bill requires the Coalition to provide quarterly reports during fiscal year 2026 detailing planned expenditures and accomplishments, as well as an end-of-year performance report that outlines the work completed, services provided, and associated costs. These reports must include meaningful measures of program effectiveness and costs, similar to requirements for state agencies. The Director of Finance is tasked with forwarding all reports to the Legislative Council in a timely manner. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
