An application and annual report is
required by Federal Statute (the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of
2002, Public Law 107-252, Section 291, Payments for Protection and
Advocacy Systems, 42.U.S.C. 15461). Each state Protection and
Advocacy System that receives funding is required to prepare and
submit an annual report at the end of every fiscal year. The report
addresses the activities conducted with the funds provided during
the year. The information collected from the annual report will be

spent. The report will also provide an overview of the P&A
goals and accomplishments and permit the Administration on
Developmental Disabilities to track progress to monitor grant
activities.
