***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
AN ACT to create 48.983 (4) (b) 4. of the statutes; relating to: funding for the
Family Foundations home visitation program and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill provides a funding increase to the Department of Children and
Families to support the Family Foundations home visitation program. The bill
provides an increase of $1,666,500 in general purpose revenue funding and requires
that, in each fiscal year after fiscal year 2022-23, DCF allocate $44,500 more in
federal funding than was allocated in fiscal year 2022-23.
Under current law, DCF distributes grants for the prevention of child abuse and
neglect under a program commonly referred to as “Family Foundations.” Under the
Family Foundations program, certain entities are eligible for grants to provide home
visitation services for parents who are eligible for Medical Assistance and who are
assessed to be at risk of poor birth outcomes or of abusing or neglecting their child.
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:
