The Honorable, The Legislature:
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society-Wisconsin Chapter is pleased to submit the attached report to the Governor and State Legislature, pursuant to Wisconsin Act 71.10(5m), "Multiple Sclerosis Programs Check-off." The report reflects the disbursements made from January 1, 2011-December 31, 2011. Disbursements made in 2012, will be reported prior to January, 2013, and thereafter annually, as promulgated in Wisconsin Act 71.
In December 2005, Governor Jim Doyle and members of the State Legislature created Wisconsin ACT 71 to assist those who live with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in Wisconsin. This law established a voluntary income tax check-off on Wisconsin State income tax forms for 2006 and beyond to fund health-related programs and services for people with MS in Wisconsin. Under Wisconsin Act 71, Provision 71.10(5m)(L), the National Multiple Sclerosis Society-Wisconsin Chapter was directed to file a report prior to January 1, 2012, that "details the entities to which the society distributed funds under paragraph (k), the amount of money each entity received, and the health-related multiple sclerosis programs on which the money was spent."
S639
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society-Wisconsin Chapter is proud to partner with the Governor, State Legislature, Wisconsin taxpayers, and entities in moving forward to provide vital programs and services to people living with MS in Wisconsin.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Otte
Director, Mission Delivery
