An Act establishing a diaper benefits pilot program

This bill creates a pilot program to help low-income families in Massachusetts afford diapers for infants and young children. It establishes a new trust fund managed by the Department of Public Health, which will be financed through state appropriations, interest, and unrestricted private donations. The Department of Public Health will select up to 12 organizations across the state to receive funding for purchasing, storing, and distributing diapers, with limits on how many grants are awarded to specific geographic regions. The program is designed to run for a set period, after which the department must submit a report to the legislature detailing the results.
