Peer run respite centers
This bill makes changes to how DHS may distribute grant moneys to regional peer run respite centers for individuals with mental health and substance abuse concerns. Under current law, DHS may distribute not more than $1,200,000 in each fiscal year for this purpose and may use any of three appropriations to fund the grants. The bill removes the limitation on the amount that DHS may annually distribute and requires DHS to use only one appropriation to fund the grants.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. 46.48 (31) of the statutes is amended to read:
46.48 (31) Peer run respite centers. The From the appropriation under s. 20.435 (5) (bc), the department may distribute not more than $1,200,000 in each fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2014-15, grants to regional peer run respite centers for individuals with mental health and substance abuse concerns.
