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

SB 162 appropriates $169,633 from Alabama's State General Fund to the Coalition Against Domestic Violence for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. It requires the Coalition to submit an operations plan and an audited financial statement for 2025 before receiving funds, along with quarterly reports on spending and progress and an annual performance report detailing services provided and program effectiveness. The bill mandates these reports be submitted to the Director of Finance, who will forward them to the Legislative Council. This funding and reporting structure directly affects the Coalition's budget management and accountability for the allocated funds, effective October 1, 2026.
