Assembly Bill 1111 aims to enhance public health initiatives in Wisconsin by funding a campaign to prevent the initiation of tobacco and electronic cigarette use, particularly among youth. The bill allocates $2,000,000 to the Department of Health Services (DHS) for this purpose, which includes developing a public health campaign and providing grants to local and regional organizations focused on youth vaping prevention and cessation services.

Additionally, the bill amends existing law by changing the reporting timeline for the DHS from April 15, 2002, to April 15, 2027, and requires annual reports thereafter that evaluate the success of the programs under the new section created in the bill. The report will detail the number of grants awarded and their purposes, as well as any donations and grants accepted by the department. This legislative effort reflects a commitment to addressing the growing concerns surrounding youth vaping and tobacco use in Wisconsin.
