Public Assistance Reform under Walker

Walker's bill provides appropriation of TANF program funds from Federal Government:

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
Reflecting the receipt of emergency contingency funds under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant program, this bill increases by $37,000,000 the amount of TANF moneys allocated for the earned income tax credit.

Walker's bill also spins off extensive medical research and medical provisions, including blood stem cell research, leukemia research, bone marrow transplant facilities, research and funding, and the list goes on as to those areas in which UW-Madison has contributed through UW Hospitals and Clinics:

OTHER HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
This bill eliminates the UW Hospitals and Clinics Board, a state agency assigned the single duty to enter into a contractual services agreement with the UW Hospitals and Clinics Authority to provide the services of state employees who are in clerical, blue collar and nonbuilding trades, building trades crafts, security and public safety, and technical collective bargaining units. The bill also transfers all employees of the UW Hospitals and Clinics Board to the UW Hospitals and Clinics Authority.
