71.775 (4) (dm) Section 71.29 (3), (3m), (4), (5), (6), and (11), as it applies to estimated payments of income and franchise taxes for corporations, also applies to estimated payments of the withholding tax imposed under sub. (2) for pass-through entities.
SECTION 9. 71.775 (4) (e) of the statutes is renumbered 71.775 (4) (k).
SECTION 10. 71.775 (4) (em) of the statutes is created to read:
71.775 (4) (em) Except as provided in par. (fm), in the case of any underpayment of estimated withholding taxes under par. (cm), interest shall be added to the aggregate withholding tax for the taxable year at the rate of 12 percent per year on the amount of the underpayment for the period of the underpayment. In this paragraph, "period of the underpayment" means the time period beginning with the due date of the installment and ending on either the unextended due date of the return under par. (a) or the date of payment, whichever is earlier. If 90 percent of the tax due under sub. (2) for the taxable year is not paid by the unextended due date of the return under par. (a), the difference between that amount and the estimated taxes paid, along with any interest due, shall accrue delinquent interest in the same manner as income and franchise taxes under s. 71.82 (2) (a).
SECTION 11. 71.775 (4) (f) of the statutes is repealed.
SECTION 12. 71.775 (4) (fm) of the statutes is created to read:

1. Ninety percent of the withholding tax under sub. (2) that is due for the taxable year.
2. The withholding tax due under sub. (2) for the preceding taxable year, except that this subdivision does not apply if the preceding taxable year was less than 12 months or if the pass-through entity did not file a return under par. (a) for the preceding taxable year.
SECTION 14. 71.775 (4) (h) of the statutes is created to read:

(g), the pass-through entity may pay the amount under this paragraph, rather than the amount under par. (g). For purposes of computing annualized income under this paragraph, the apportionment percentage computed under s. 71.25 (6), (10), and (12) from the return under par.

Medical Assistance
Under current law, the Medical Assistance (MA) program provides family planning as a benefit to its recipients. DHS is required to request and has received a waiver of federal Medicaid laws to conduct a demonstration project to provide family planning services under MA to women between the ages of 15 and 44 with family incomes of not more than 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
This bill allows DHS to request an amended waiver from the federal Department of Health and Human Services to expand the current family planning demonstration project to include men, as well as women, between the ages of 15 and 44 whose family incomes are not more than 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

Medical Assistance
Under current law, certain Medical Assistance beneficiaries may receive case management services. These services, when provided by independent living centers, are funded in part by the federal Medical Assistance program with the remainder funded by a county, city, village, or town or by a grant from DHS. Independent living centers may receive a grant from DHS to provide nonresidential services to severely disabled people. To receive a grant from DHS, the independent living center must satisfy certain conditions including complying with federal regulations to obtain federal funding.
This bill clarifies that only independent living centers satisfying the criteria to receive a grant from DHS may be reimbursed for case management services through the Medical Assistance program.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 46.96 (1) (ap) of the statutes is amended to read:
46.96 (1) (ap) "Independent living services" has the meaning given under 29 USC 706 (30) 29 USC 705 (18).

(am). The amount of allowable charges for the services under the medical assistance program that is not provided by the federal government shall be paid from nonfederal, public funds received by the independent living center from a county, city, village or town or from funds distributed as a grant under s. 46.96.

Long-term care
Under current law, in certain counties, a person who meets certain functional and financial criteria and who is either a frail elder or a person who is at least 18 years old with a physical disability or a developmental disability is eligible for and may obtain the family care benefit. The family care benefit is financial assistance for long-term care.
Also, currently, an individual may be eligible for the family care benefit if he or she does not meet the functional eligibility requirements for the family care benefit but he or she 1) has a condition that is expected to last at least 90 days or result in death within 12 months, 2) applies within 36 months after the date on which the family care benefit is available in the individual's county of residence, and 3) on the date the family care benefit became available in the individual's county of residence, was a resident of a nursing home or had been receiving long-term care services under certain programs for at least 60 days. This bill eliminates this provision, thus requiring that all individuals meet the functional eligibility requirements to be eligible for family care.
Under current law, a care management organization administers the family care benefit under a contract with DHS. DHS must ensure that care management organizations have the capacity to provide the family care benefit within 24 months to all persons in the county who are entitled to it. This bill lengthens the period for ensuring the entitled benefit to 36 months.
Under current law, the Board on Aging and Long-Term Care must contract to provide advocacy services to actual or potential recipients of the family care benefit in a ratio of one advocate to every 2,500 individuals under age 60 who receive the family care benefit. DHS must allot $525,000 for the contract to provide advocacy services in each fiscal year. This bill decreases the ratio to one advocate to every 3,500 individuals under age 60 who receive the family care benefit. The bill eliminates the requirement for DHS to allot money for the contract.
Under current law, the county pays for services for a developmentally disabled individual if those services are not paid for by the federal government. The county also pays for certain mental health services that are not paid for by the federal government. If the individual receiving services is eligible for medical assistance, DHS will pay for the services not paid for by the federal government. This bill requires that, for individuals receiving the family care benefit, the care management organization pay for services provided to developmentally disabled individuals, including mental health services covered by family care.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 46.281 (1n) (e) of the statutes is amended to read:
46.281 (1n) (e) Contract with a person to provide the advocacy services described under s. 16.009 (2) (p) 1. to 5. to actual or potential recipients of the family care benefit who are under age 60 or to their families or guardians. The department may not contract under this paragraph with a county or with a person who has a contract with the department to provide services under s. 46.283 (3) and (4) as a resource center or to administer the family care benefit as a care management organization. The contract under this paragraph shall include as a goal that the provider of advocacy services provide one advocate for every 2,500 3,500 individuals under age 60 who receive the family care benefit. The department shall allocate $190,000 for the contract under this paragraph in fiscal year 2007-08 and $525,000 in each subsequent fiscal year.
SECTION 2. 46.286 (1) (a) (intro.) and 1. (intro.) of the statutes are consolidated, renumbered 46.286 (1) (a) (intro.) and amended to read:
