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.
