5-21-15 Washington DC:How much has been spent or appropriated on AWA/SORNA? Federal, State, Tribal, Unfunded Mandates (might be bigger than we think)? WOW! Just to give folks an idea of what is involved on the FEDERAL level.
I started with the old congressional website (Thomas) which is still updated daily, I did this because it has search capabilities which do not exist in the new congressional website.
Using the multiple congresses search option I searched for AWA (Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act) and got 12 responses, I've reordered them below for easier understanding which congress passed what.
There are two links for each bill. The PDF links to the OLD Congressional website, while the bill number links to the NEW Congressional website. Reason, the NEW site is often down (or not updated as quickly as the old site) and you can use the other and still get research done.
3 . [109th] Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (Enrolled Bill [Final as Passed Both House and Senate] - ENR)[H.R.4472.ENR ][PDF]
First, using the main AWA law above, page search (bill/PDF) for every place it shows "GRANT" that will show you every individual grant authorized by AWA. Now, below I show every later congress which appropriated funding for AWA and the bills congress used back then.
Since Congress combines various agencies into one large appropriation bill, you will have to sift through bills to find amounts related to AWA (actually not that hard). Best done by searching for "Adam" and/or "appropriation" which gets you close, then the actual amounts are right around that point. Then continue till you find all related in one bill. Then move on to the next bill doing the same. Note: As you make your list of amounts, note that Congress often appropriates for multiple years. i.e. 2009 to 2012 etc. Yes you will find places where double appropriations have occurred. (grrr)
If you select the bill number path, click on the bill number, then TEXT which takes you to the enrolled bill.Note some of the bills -although passed under authority of AWA- (ex: Kids Act) do not appropriate monies (Unfunded mandates or further burdens original AWA Grants); they still show up in a search for AWA. Nothing is perfect. Good luck.
1 . [110th] KIDS Act of 2008 (Enrolled Bill [Final as Passed Both House and Senate] - ENR)[S.431.ENR ][PDF] PS: For those who really want to understand how the Kid's Act works. (See explanation here) Note the denial to tell the registrant what is going on when Congress said to tell the registrant!
10 . [110th] Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Enrolled Bill [Final as Passed Both House and Senate] - ENR)[H.R.2764.ENR ][PDF] PS: This is the tricky one where Congress appropriated funding for AWA in a Agricultural bill (See explanation here).
4 . [111th] CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Enrolled Bill [Final as Passed Both House and Senate] - ENR)[S.3817.ENR ][PDF]
5 . [111th] Serve America Act (Enrolled Bill [Final as Passed Both House and Senate] - ENR)[H.R.1388.ENR ][PDF]

11 . [113th] Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (Enrolled Bill [Final as Passed Both House and Senate] - ENR)[H.R.3547.ENR ][PDF]
12 . [113th] Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Enrolled Bill [Final as Passed Both House and Senate] - ENR)[H.R.83.ENR ][PDF]
[114th] Nothing as of today 5-21-15.
Now that you see the Federal level, its time to think about what states appropriated. All 50 or just the 17 in compliance? The answer to that question is, its more than 17 (those in compliance as of todays date)....
Good luck
