Coalition against domestic violence, appropriation, operations plan and audited financial statement required, quarterly and end-of-year reports required

HB 229 appropriates $169,633 from Alabama’s State General Fund to the Coalition Against Domestic Violence for fiscal year 2027. The bill requires the Coalition to submit an operations plan and an audited financial report from fiscal year 2025 before receiving funds, along with quarterly updates on spending and progress and an annual performance report detailing services provided and costs. These reports must be submitted to the Director of Finance and forwarded to the Legislative Council. The funding is tied directly to accountability measures, ensuring transparency in how the money is used to support domestic violence services.
