House Democrats have introduced a bill that would allocate $100 million to programs that would hand out free diapers to low-income families.

The End Diaper Need Act of 2019 was introduced by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) on March 21. The bill would create a “$100 million demonstration program” in states, communities, and nonprofits across the nation that will then use the money to distribute free diapers and other related products, according to a press release.
