Designates first week in August as "Adult Diaper Need Awareness Week" in New Jersey.

This Assembly Resolution (AR 97) designates the first week in August as "Adult Diaper Need Awareness Week" in New Jersey. It aims to raise public awareness about the challenges faced by adults with incontinence - particularly older adults, people with disabilities, and those with chronic illnesses like dementia or multiple sclerosis - who often struggle to afford essential incontinence products. The resolution highlights that adult diapers can cost $80-$300 monthly, creating health risks (like rashes or infections) and social isolation when unaffordable, especially for those on limited incomes or without adequate insurance coverage. It does not create new funding or policy changes but encourages community awareness and support through a designated week.
