S1086 - Sponsor Memo

 
BILL NUMBER: S1086

SPONSOR: PERSAUD
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the social services law, in relation to allowances for
the costs of diapers

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:  This bill creates an allowance for
eligible parents to receive an allowance every three months to assist in
the purchasing of diapers for their children two years and under.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

An act to amend the social services law, in relation to allowances for
the costs of diapers. The People of the State of New York, represented
in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1.  Subdivision 1
of section 350 of the social services law is amended by adding a new
paragraph (c) to read as follows: (c) In accordance with the regulations
of the department approved by the director of the budget, allowances
granted under the provisions of this title may include the costs of

diapers for an eligible child, two years of age or younger. Said allow-
ances shall not exceed eighty dollars every three months, per eligible
child.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Children under the age of two require frequent diaper changes, which can
become financially challenging for low-income parents. Frequent diaper
changes are also necessary to prevent diaper rash, which if left
untreated, could lead to other health issues for the baby.  Helping
parents gain an adequate supply of diapers will assist in avoiding
further health issues for their children. The bill aims to provide
eligible parents with an allowance to purchase diapers. Every three
months, parents of children aged two years and younger will be eligible
to receive eighty dollars, which will assist those who have trouble
affording diapers.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2017/2018: Referred to Senate Children and Families

2016/2017: Referred to Senate Children and Families

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
