H 2390 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act expanding access to hygiene products

HD 3080 creates a task force to study whether basic hygiene products like diapers, feminine products, and soap should be covered under the WIC program. The task force, including government officials and community representatives, will analyze hygiene insecurity in Massachusetts and evaluate existing programs. It must submit a report by January 2027 with recommendations on including these products in WIC, including public input. This bill does not change current policy but sets up a formal study to inform future decisions. The direct effect is on the study process, not immediate access to products.
