Current law also requires OJA to distribute not more than $300,000 in each fiscal year to the organization providing services in Milwaukee County for alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) education and treatment services for participants in that organization's program.

The bill also requires OJA to reduce the amount distributed to the organization providing services in Milwaukee County for AODA education and treatment services by $18,400 in each of those fiscal years.
