Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 23-29, 2024, as Diaper Need Awareness Week in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate September 23-29, 2024, as Diaper Need Awareness Week in New York. The resolution highlights the financial and health challenges low-income families face when they cannot afford enough clean diapers for their infants and toddlers. It notes that diapers are not covered by government assistance programs like food stamps and can represent a significant portion of a minimum wage worker's income. The text also lists various local organizations in New York that currently distribute diapers to help these families. This measure is purely symbolic and does not create new laws or allocate funding.
