ONE HUNDRED NINTH LEGISLATURE
SECOND SESSION
LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION 391
Introduced by Dungan, 26.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this resolution is to propose an interim study to
examine the issue of diaper access for Nebraska families. Using 2023 United
States Census data, an estimated 26,113 children from birth through three years
of age are at risk of diaper need in Nebraska. Diaper need is defined as when a
caregiver struggles to afford an adequate supply of clean diapers to maintain
child health and hygiene.
The study shall include, but not be limited to, an examination of the
following:
(1) The impact of diaper need on:
(a) Mothers, including the mental health of mothers;
(b) Babies and young children;
(c) Medical systems;
(d) Public health systems;
(e) Workforce participation; and
(f) Early childhood systems, including child care;
(2) The data available about Nebraska families who are impacted by diaper
need;
(3) An overview of available resources in the state to address diaper
need;
(4) A review of how other states support access to diapers;
(5) An outline of potential statutory or administrative changes that would
support diaper access; and
(6) A determination of whether state funding is needed to support diaper
access.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE HUNDRED NINTH
