SR 87 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Declares week of September 22 through September 28, 2024 as "Diaper Need Awareness Week."

This Senate Resolution designates the week of September 22 through September 28, 2024, as "Diaper Need Awareness Week" in New Jersey to highlight the issue of families lacking sufficient clean diapers for infants and toddlers. The bill directly affects low-income families, government agencies, and community organizations by encouraging public awareness and donation efforts to support diaper banks and distribution programs. It urges state governmental agencies to organize diaper drives and requests the Governor to issue a proclamation calling for appropriate activities and programs during the designated week. The resolution does not allocate funding or create new programs but serves to promote awareness of diaper need as a barrier to childcare access and economic stability for vulnerable families.
