What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill increases by $2,000,000 in each fiscal year the funding for grants to community health centers. Under current law, the Department of Health Services must award grants to each community health center that receives federal grants in an amount calculated by multiplying the amount of state funds available for all community health centers by the fraction obtained by dividing the amount of federal grant moneys that the particular community health center receives by the total amount of federal grant moneys paid to all Wisconsin community health centers. The additional funding provided in the 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 2019 Wisconsin Act 9 , the biennial budget act, that requires DHS to give $500,000 in grants annually to free and charitable clinics.
