Bill Summary · HB 184

Legislative bill overview

HB 184 requires Alabama's Coalition Against Domestic Violence to submit detailed operational and financial documentation, including an operations plan, audited financial statements, and quarterly plus end-of-year reports. The bill establishes mandatory accountability measures for how the organization uses state appropriations.

Why is this important

Domestic violence coalitions receive public funding to support victims and prevention programs. This bill creates transparent financial oversight to ensure taxpayer money is spent appropriately and allows lawmakers to evaluate the organization's effectiveness and resource allocation.

Potential points of contention

  • Reporting burden: Quarterly and audited financial reporting requirements increase administrative costs that could reduce funds available for direct victim services
  • Operational flexibility: Detailed operations plans submitted for approval may limit the coalition's ability to respond quickly to emerging community needs or grant opportunities
  • Funding implications: If the coalition cannot meet these requirements, appropriations could be withheld, potentially disrupting critical domestic violence services in the state
