What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill defines “free and charitable clinics” as health care organizations that

use a volunteer and staff model to provide health services to uninsured,

underinsured, underserved, economically and socially disadvantaged, and

vulnerable populations and that meet criteria specified in the bill. The bill

incorporates into statutory language an allocation made in the biennial budget act,

2019 Wisconsin Act 9

, that requires the Department of Health Services to give

$500,000 in grants annually to free and charitable clinics.
