Creates a pilot program to help military families get free diapers.

This bill would create a new pilot program to help military families get free diapers and diapering supplies. The program would set up partnerships between local basic needs banks and military bases. This means families in the military who need these supplies would have an easier way to get them.

What Would Change

Today, there isn't a specific government program that connects local diaper banks with military bases to provide free diapers. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Defense would start a pilot program to create these partnerships. This would make it easier for military families to get the diapers they need.

Key Provisions

Creates a pilot program for military bases to partner with local groups to give free diapers to military families.
Requires the Secretary of Defense to work with the National Diaper Bank Network to help local groups and check the program's success.
Sets rules for which local groups can join the program, requiring them to be nonprofits that have given out free diapers for at least 5 years and are part of the National Diaper Bank Network.
