10	10	AN ACT to create 46.48 (33) of the statutes; relating to: grants to mental health
11	11	clubhouses.
12	12	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
13	13	This bill requires the Department of Health Services to award grants to
14	14	clubhouses. A “clubhouse,” as defined in the bill, is a nonresidential rehabilitation
15	15	program that provides support and services to individuals who have or are awaiting
16	16	diagnosis for a mental illness but does not directly provide treatment or medical care
17	17	for mental illnesses. To receive a grant, a clubhouse must include members who have
18	18	been diagnosed with or are awaiting diagnosis for a mental illness and are under
19	19	treatment for the condition, raise an amount of money itself to receive a matching
20	20	grant, provide activities and services to members on a voluntary basis, have its own
21	21	distinct physical space, and allow members to have the opportunity to participate in
22	22	the administration and other operational functions of the clubhouse. The bill allows,
23	23	if applicable, the Joint Committee on Finance to make a supplement using its passive
24	24	review process for the purposes of providing grants to clubhouses.
25	25	For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
26	26	an appendix to this bill.
27	27	The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
