The resolution proposes an interim study to investigate diaper access for families in Nebraska, highlighting that approximately 26,113 children aged birth to three years are at risk of diaper need, which refers to the inability of caregivers to afford sufficient clean diapers for their children. The study aims to explore the implications of diaper need on various aspects, including the mental health of mothers, the well-being of children, the strain on medical and public health systems, workforce participation, and early childhood care systems. Additionally, it will assess the available data on affected families, resources in the state, and how other states address similar issues.

The Health and Human Services Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this study and will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or Legislature upon completion. The study will also consider potential statutory or administrative changes to improve diaper access and evaluate whether state funding is necessary to support these efforts.
