Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Justice must provide $17,000 in each fiscal year to specified child advocacy centers for education, training, medical advice, and quality assurance activities. This bill instead provides that DOJ must award grants in each fiscal year to specified child advocacy centers to enhance the multidisciplinary response to suspected child maltreatment. The bill adds two centers as recipients, the Lakeshore Regional Child Advocacy Center in Sheboygan County and Child Advocacy Centers of Wisconsin, and updates the names of the centers that are designated recipients under current law.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
