BACKGROUND
Background
NC General Statute 18B-805 outlines the provisions for NC counties receiving and spending Bottle Tax Revenue proceeds collected by local ABC boards and allocated to Counties from the local sales of alcohol each month. NC G.S. 18B-805(h) specifically states that "funds distributed under subdivisions (b)(4) and (c)(3) of this section shall be spent for the treatment of alcoholism or substance abuse, or for research or education on alcohol or substance abuse." Guilford County contracts with Alcohol and Drug Services (ADS) to provide alcohol and substance abuse treatment services which are funded by the County's proceeds from the ABC bottle tax as required under NC G.S. 18B-805(h). This same subdivision also requires any agency or person receiving these funds for this purpose from the county commissioners to submit an annual report to the county commissioners describing how the funds were spent.
