Can I offer a referral program for my customers in Alabama? What are the requirements?

Based on the provided documents, it appears that Alabama has established a specialized court referral officer program to promote the evaluation, education, and rehabilitation of persons whose use or dependency on alcohol or drugs directly or indirectly contributed to the commission of an offense for which they were convicted in state or municipal courts [1.5]. The program is funded by the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Court Referral Officer Trust Fund, which consists of all moneys paid into the State Treasury to the credit of such fund pursuant to this chapter and all moneys received for the benefit of the court referral officer program by legislative appropriation, grant, gift, or contributions by counties or municipalities, or otherwise [1.2].

The Administrative Office of Courts shall establish criteria to determine eligibility of court referral programs to receive payment from the Court Referral Officer Trust Fund [1.1]. All Alabama TASC programs which meet the national TASC criteria on August 15, 1990, shall be eligible to receive payments from the Court Referral Officer Trust Fund. All such programs shall be nonprofit agencies [1.1].

Therefore, it appears that only court referral programs that meet the national TASC criteria and are nonprofit agencies are eligible to receive payments from the Court Referral Officer Trust Fund. It is unclear from the provided documents whether a referral program offered by a private company would be eligible for payments from the fund.

Based on the available information, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional in Alabama to determine the eligibility of your referral program to receive payments from the Court Referral Officer Trust Fund.
