A $10-million emergency fund for Wisconsin veteran’s homes will be part of the two-year state budget the Legislature votes on this summer.
Those homes could use the fund for emergencies like a pandemic or a natural disaster.
The Republican-backed plan received unanimous approval Thursday.
It has to be signed into law by Governor Tony Evers before it goes into effect.
The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs will control the fund.
It is in charge of three veterans’ homes where about one thousand veterans live.
