What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill increases the funding for grants to community health centers by

$2,000,000 in each fiscal year. Under current law, DHS is required to award grants

to every community health center that receives federal grants in an amount for each

community health center that is calculated by multiplying the total amount of state

funds available for grants by the fraction of total federal grant moneys paid to

Wisconsin's community health centers that the community health center receives in

federal grant moneys. The additional funding provided in this bill is to be divided

among community health centers in the same manner as current law. The bill also

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

2019 Wisconsin Act 9

, that requires DHS to give $500,000 in grants annually to free

and charitable clinics.
