What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Higher Educational Aids Board to establish a program to award grants to persons in this state for research into spinal cord injuries. The grants must support research into new and innovative treatments and rehabilitative efforts for the functional improvement of people with spinal cord injuries. Research topics may include pharmaceutical, medical device, brain stimulus, and rehabilitative approaches and techniques. HEAB must make annual reports to the legislature about the grants. The bill also allows HEAB to hold symposia every two years for grant recipients to present their research findings. The bill appropriates general purpose revenues not exceeding $10,000,000 for the grants and symposia.
The bill also requires HEAB to appoint a spinal cord injury council with one member representing the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, one member representing the Medical College of Wisconsin, and the following members: 1) a person with a spinal cord injury; 2) a family member of a person with a spinal cord injury; 3) a veteran with a spinal cord injury; 4) a physician specializing in the treatment of spinal cord injuries; 5) a neurosurgery researcher;

and 6) a researcher employed by the veterans health administration of the federal Department of Veterans Affairs. If HEAB is unable to appoint any of the foregoing members, the bill allows HEAB to appoint, in lieu of that member, a member representing the general public. Members of the council have two-year terms. The bill requires the council to develop criteria for HEAB to evaluate and award grants, review and make recommendations on grant applications, and perform other duties specified by HEAB. Council members must make written disclosures of financial interests in organizations that the council recommends for grants.
