AI Summary
This bill establishes a newborn health and safe sleep pilot program in the Department of Public Health. The program will provide "baby boxes" - boxes lined with a firm mattress and fitted sheet that can serve as a safe sleep place for newborns - along with educational materials on safe sleep practices. To receive a baby box, parents or guardians must first complete an online education syllabus on the risks associated with certain sleep conditions and safe sleep practices. The Department will monitor the program's quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness, and report their findings and recommendations to the relevant legislative committees within one year of the bill's effective date.
