(b) All money paid to the commission under this chapter is subject to Subchapter F, Chapter 404, Government Code.

The annual report must meet the reporting requirements applicable to financial reporting provided in the General Appropriations Act.
(d) The financial transactions of the commission are subject to audit by the state auditor in accordance with Chapter 321, Government Code.
(e) The commission is the state agency to:
(1) receive and administer federal funds for alcohol and drug abuse, including applying for, administering, and disbursing funds under the Drug Abuse Office and Treatment Act of 1972 (21 U.S.C. Section 1101 et seq.); and
(2) prescribe all necessary policies relating to alcohol and drug abuse.
(f) An organization or other entity is not eligible for a grant of state funds from the commission unless the organization or entity provides matching funds in either cash or in-kind contributions equal to at least five percent of the total grant of state funds from the commission.

(1) the number of chemically dependent persons the organization or entity served, if any, during the preceding year, the municipalities and counties of residence of those persons, and the number of persons served from each municipality and county; and
(2) the number of chemically dependent persons the organization or entity expects to serve during the term of the requested grant or contract, the expected municipalities and counties of residence for those persons, and the expected number of persons served from each municipality and county.
