SB 305 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: grants to mental health clubhouses and making an appropriation. (FE)

SB 305 creates a new grant program providing up to $300,000 annually for mental health clubhouses, with individual clubhouses eligible for up to $50,000 per year. The bill directly affects nonresidential mental health clubhouses that support individuals diagnosed with or awaiting diagnosis for mental illness (but do not provide medical treatment), requiring them to meet specific criteria like matching grant funds, maintaining separate facilities, and ensuring voluntary membership. Key provisions include annual funding limits, mandatory member diagnosis requirements, and a requirement that clubhouses raise matching funds equal to the requested grant amount. The program expires on June 30, 2030, and is codified under new sections 20.435(5)(bk) and 46.67 of the statutes.
