Plain-English Summary

The Department of Defense would create a test program allowing military bases to partner with organizations that distribute diapers and diaper supplies to help military families afford these essential items. This pilot program would provide free or low-cost diapers to service members and their families who need assistance, addressing a common financial hardship among military households. The program would run at select military installations to determine whether these partnerships effectively reduce the financial burden on military families.
