Senate Bill 797 proposes a one-time grant of $600,000 to the Wisconsin Health Information Organization (WHIO) to establish an online dashboard for health care claims information and to onboard new payer data. This grant will be awarded by the Department of Health Services (DHS) from a specified appropriation for the fiscal year 2026-27. Additionally, the bill increases appropriations to DHS by $1,380,000 for fiscal year 2025-26 and $1,560,000 for fiscal year 2026-27 to support the increased operational costs of the contracted data organization.

The bill includes a provision stating that if other legislation mandating participation in WHIO does not pass during the 2025 legislative session, the provisions of this bill will be void. This ensures that the funding and initiatives outlined in the bill are contingent upon the successful enactment of related legislation.
