AI Summary

This bill establishes the Kentucky Diaper Access Board and the Kentucky Diaper Access Trust Fund to address diaper access programs for children under eighteen. The Board, composed of state officials and appointed members, will develop a biennial state plan for distributing funds from the Trust Fund, which will be financed by general fund appropriations, gifts, grants, and federal funds. The Trust Fund's earnings will be reinvested until the fund reaches $20 million, after which only earnings will be available for disbursement.
