ACR 106
(Gonzalez) - As Amended August 1, 2016
SUBJECT: Diaper Need Awareness Week.
SUMMARY: Proclaims the week of September 26, 2016, to October
2, 2016, inclusive, as Diaper Needs Awareness Week and
encourages California citizens to donate generously to those
organizations that distribute diapers to families in need.
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)Access to a reliable supply of clean diapers is a necessity
for the health and welfare of infants and toddlers, their
families, and child and health care providers.
2)An infant or toddler requires an average of 50 diaper changes
per week over three years. Diapers cannot be purchased with
CalFresh benefits or WIC (Women, Infants and Children)
vouchers, therefore providing a sufficient supply of diapers
can cause economic hardship for needy families.
3)California recognizes that addressing diaper need supports the
health of, and economic opportunity for, low-income and middle
class families, and the state has a vested interest in
reducing diaper need.
