Assembly Bill 301 establishes a grant program for mental health clubhouses in Wisconsin, which are defined as nonresidential rehabilitation programs that support individuals with mental illness but do not provide direct treatment. The Department of Health Services is tasked with awarding grants totaling up to $300,000 per fiscal year, with a maximum of $50,000 allocated to each clubhouse. To qualify for these grants, clubhouses must meet specific criteria, including having members who are diagnosed with or awaiting diagnosis for a mental illness, raising matching funds, providing voluntary activities, maintaining a distinct physical space, and allowing member participation in administration.

The bill also includes a sunset provision, stating that no grants may be awarded after June 30, 2030. Additionally, it creates new statutory sections, specifically 20.435 (5) (bk) for mental health clubhouse grants and 46.67 detailing the grant criteria and requirements. The program aims to enhance support for individuals with mental health challenges while ensuring that clubhouses operate independently and engage their members actively.
