Recognizing the importance of diapers to infant health and family well-being, and expressing support for the designation of the week of September 18-24, 2023, as "National Diaper Need Awareness Week".

HRES 713 is a symbolic House resolution designating the week of September 18-24, 2023, as "National Diaper Need Awareness Week." It recognizes that diaper need - lacking sufficient clean diapers - affects nearly 1 in 2 families with young children and can cost low-income families up to $100 monthly, consuming 14% of their post-tax income. The resolution supports raising public awareness about this issue, acknowledges the work of diaper banks (with over 300 locations nationwide), and encourages donations to these organizations. It does not create new laws or allocate funding, but aims to highlight a basic need impacting infant health and family economic stability.
