relating to: moneys used to
2reimburse the cost of drugs to treat HIV infections and making appropriations

4Services).
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law provides that the Department of Health and Family Services
(DHFS) may use federal project operations moneys, among other funds, to reimburse
the costs of drugs used to treat persons with an HIV infection. This bill provides that
DHFS may use federal project aids moneys rather than federal project operations
moneys to reimburse these costs.
For further information, see the Notes provided by the Law Revision
Committee of the Joint Legislative Council.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
