What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System

to establish a crime victims legal clinic at the UW Law School and to apply to the

Department of Justice for grants under the federal Victim of Crime Act to defray the

costs of the clinic. If DOJ determines that the clinic is eligible for those grants and

that sufficient funding is available, the bill requires DOJ to award the grants in

amounts that DOJ determines are reasonable to support the clinic.
