An Act

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System to contract with a vendor for the provision of virtual mental health services for students enrolled in UW System institutions that have not more than 30,000 full-time enrolled undergraduate students, as such enrollment was counted on the preceding April 1.
The bill also sets certain requirements for the vendor of the virtual mental health services, including that the vendor’s services be designed to complement existing institution-based mental health offerings and expand students’ access to mental health support services beyond traditional business hours. Additionally, the bill requires the vendor chosen by the board to annually report to the board and the legislature regarding the vendor’s provision of virtual mental health services, including certain statistics regarding students’ use of the vendor’s virtual mental health services.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
