Under current law, DWD, through the division of vocational rehabilitation, is required to provide homecraft services to persons with severe disabilities. According to the division of vocational rehabilitation, the division has not provided homecraft services since 2003 when it was determined that homecraft services do not satisfy federal standards related to vocational rehabilitation.
This bill removes the requirement that DWD provide homecraft services to persons with severe disabilities.
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:
