AI Summary

This bill establishes a newborn health and safe sleep pilot program in the Department of Public Health in Massachusetts. The program aims to reduce infant mortality rates by providing "baby boxes" - boxes lined with a firm mattress and fitted sheet that can serve as a safe sleep space for newborns - along with educational materials on safe sleep practices. To receive a baby box, parents or guardians must first complete an online parent education syllabus developed by the department. The department is responsible for monitoring the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of the program and reporting their findings and recommendations to legislative committees.
