Assembly Bill 581 proposes the establishment of two grant programs under the Department of Military Affairs to provide disaster assistance. Specifically, the bill allocates $10,000,000 for a disaster assistance grant program aimed at individuals and $20,000,000 for a similar program targeting businesses for the 2025-26 fiscal year. This funding is intended to support those affected by disasters, ensuring that both individuals and businesses have access to necessary financial resources during challenging times.

To implement these programs, the bill creates new statutory sections 20.465 (3) (bf) and 20.465 (3) (bg), which outline the biennial funding for the disaster assistance for individuals and businesses, respectively. This legislative action reflects a commitment to enhancing disaster response and recovery efforts within the state of Wisconsin.
