What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Health Services (DHS) administers the

Wisconsin Well-Woman Program under which service providers are reimbursed for

providing preventative health care services to low-income, underinsured, and

uninsured women. Under this bill, DHS may only distribute state funds allocated

to the Wisconsin Well-Woman Program to public entities. This bill further provides

that public entities that receive state funding through the Wisconsin Well-Woman

Program may provide the funds to other entities provided that the recipient does not

provide abortions, make referrals for abortion services, or have an affiliate that

provides abortions or makes referrals for abortion services.
