Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, the Department of Health Services awards Mike Johnson life care
and early intervention services grants to applying organizations for HIV-related
services, including needs assessments, assistance in procuring services, counseling
and therapy, home care services and supplies, advocacy, case management services,
and early intervention services. Current law sets the following criteria on the grants:
funds must be used to provide medical care and support services for individuals with
HIV and funds may not be used for political purposes or to develop materials or fund
AIDS programs that promote intravenous drug use or sexual activity.
This bill adds to the required uses of the grant funds providing access to clinical
services and laboratory testing for individuals who are at risk for HIV to obtain
access to pre-exposure prophylaxis. Additionally, the bill specifies that grantees
must be applying AIDS service organizations. AIDS service organizations, as
defined under current law, are nonprofit corporations or public agencies that provide
or arrange for comprehensive services to prevent HIV infection and comprehensive

health and social services for persons who have HIV infection and that have been
designated so by DHS.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
