This bill appropriates $450,000 from the Education Trust Fund to Southern Preparatory Academy in Camp Hill, Alabama, for the support and maintenance of its educational program for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The appropriation is subject to the provisions of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically the Budget and Financial Control Act and the Budget Management Act of 1976. Prior to the release of any funds, the Academy must submit an operations plan and an audited financial statement for the fiscal year 2024, which must be approved by the Director of Finance. Additionally, the bill mandates quarterly reports on expenditures and accomplishments, as well as an end-of-year performance report for fiscal year 2026.

The bill also includes provisions for the Director of Finance to forward all required reports to the Legislative Council in a timely manner. The act is set to become effective on October 1, 2025. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text, but the new legal language includes the requirements for the operations plan, financial statements, and reporting obligations.
