Assembly Bill 753 proposes the establishment of a grant program administered by the Department of Health Services to support counties in enhancing their health care and care provider workforce. The bill mandates that the department provide grants to each county that match investments made by the county in the previous fiscal year, specifically targeting areas such as recruitment, retention, mental health, trauma care, and overall wellness of the workforce. The maximum grant amount for each county is capped at $1.11 multiplied by the county's population.

To implement this program, the bill creates new statutory sections, specifically 20.435 (1) (fo) and 146.621, which outline the framework for these workforce investment grants. The first section establishes the funding mechanism for the grants, while the second details the criteria and limitations for the grants awarded to counties. This initiative aims to bolster the health care infrastructure across Wisconsin by incentivizing local investments in workforce development.
