Vice Chairperson Michael Wilt updated the board on Special Olympics Spring Games and turned to proposed state legislation he said could affect ADRC clients. Wilt said Assembly Bill 163, sponsored by Rep. Robert Brooks of Saukville, "proposes to increase Medicaid eligibility reviews to twice per year and not pre-filling forms with information already known or reported." He urged members to reach out to their representatives about the bill.
Board members did not take a formal vote or adopt a position at the meeting; Wilt framed the item as a heads‑up and a request that members contact state representatives if they have concerns about increased administrative burden for older adults and adults with disabilities.
