Grants to free and charitable clinics
Under current law, DHS is required to award grants each fiscal year to several classes of community health centers. A community health center is a health care entity that provides primary health care, health education, and social services to low-income individuals. The 2019 biennial budget act,
2019 Wisconsin Act 9, required DHS to annually award $500,000 in grants to free and charitable clinics from the same community health services appropriation. This bill continues the grant for free and charitable clinics and directs DHS to annually award $2,500,000 in grants to free and charitable clinics.
For further information see the state 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. 250.15 (2) (d) of the statutes is created to read:
250.15 (2) (d) To free and charitable clinics, $2,500,000.
