What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
