What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, in fiscal year 2021-22, the Department of Administration

is required to award grants to American Indian tribes or bands in Wisconsin. DOA

must establish the amount of each grant based on the pro rata number of employees

employed by each tribe or band as of December 31, 2019. Each tribe or band may use

grant moneys as it deems necessary to support programs to meet the needs of

members of the tribe or band, and no grant moneys may be used to pay

gaming-related expenses.

This bill requires DOA to award additional grants to American Indian tribes

and bands in this state, without respect to the number of employees employed by the

tribe or band, so that each tribe or band in Wisconsin receives at least $1,000,000 in

grant moneys. The grant moneys may be used as described above.
