AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Public Health to conduct an investigation and study on the feasibility and benefits of providing a diaper benefit to low-income infants and children under 2 years old who participate in the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program. The study will evaluate the cost of providing a monthly diaper benefit or a month's supply of diapers directly to the parents or guardians, the number of children who would receive the benefit, and the most efficient and least expensive method of administering the benefit. The department must make recommendations and submit its findings to the joint committee on children, families and persons with disabilities, as well as the House and Senate committees on ways and means, by December 31, 2018.
