HR 230 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution designating the week of September 15 through 21, 2025, as "Diaper Need Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania.

HR 230 is a symbolic resolution designating September 15-21, 2025, as "Diaper Need Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania. It directly affects low-income families, infants, toddlers, and incontinent adults who face challenges affording diapers, as highlighted by statistics showing 46% of affected families cut food or utility spending to cover costs. The resolution recognizes Pennsylvania’s 10 active diaper banks and the National Diaper Bank Network, while encouraging public support through community donations and diaper drives. It does not create new funding or regulations but aims to raise awareness about the lack of access to diapers, which impacts health, childcare participation, and economic stability.
