Medical Assistance
Currently, family planning is provided as a benefit to recipients of Medical Assistance (MA). In addition, DHFS 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 185 percent of the federal poverty level.
This bill requires DHFS to request an amended waiver from the federal Department of Health and Human Services to provide, under the current demonstration project, family planning under MA to men, as well as women, between the ages of 15 and 44 and to increase the financial eligibility limitation under the demonstration project to 200 percent of the federal poverty level.

DOA:......Binau, BB0275 - Collective bargaining process for University of Wisconsin faculty
For 2007-09 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2007 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: collective bargaining process for University of Wisconsin System faculty and academic staff and making appropriations.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
employment
Under current law, faculty and academic staff of the UW System do not have collective bargaining rights under the State Employment Labor Relations Act (SELRA). This bill provides faculty and academic staff of the UW System collective bargaining rights under state law in a manner similar to that provided other state employees under SELRA.
This bill provides all UW System academic staff and all faculty with the right to collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions of employment. Collective bargaining units are structured with separate units for faculty at each of the UW System campuses and with one unit for academic staff at all of the UW System campuses. The bill also provides that, if the employees approve by vote, any two or more units for faculty may be combined into a single unit and any two or more units for academic staff may be combined into a single unit. Representatives for each unit are chosen by election.
Unfair labor practices for UW System academic staff and faculty collective bargaining are generally the same as those under SELRA, except that the bill specifically provides that it is not an unfair labor practice for the Board of Regents of the UW System to implement changes in salaries or conditions of employment for members of the faculty or academic staff at one UW institution and not for such persons at other UW institutions if certain conditions are met. The bill specifically authorizes fair-share and maintenance of membership agreements for UW academic staff and faculty collective bargaining, as is the case under SELRA. The bill also prohibits strikes.
Under the bill, the subjects of collective bargaining are the same as under SELRA, except that collective bargaining is prohibited on the mission and goals of the Board of Regents of the UW System; the diminution of the right of tenure provided faculty; the rights granted faculty and academic staff under current law; and academic freedom. Finally, under the bill, collective bargaining agreements covering UW faculty and academic staff must be approved by the Joint Committee on Employment Relations and adopted by the legislature.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
