Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
H.Res. 736 is a symbolic resolution that designates September 15-21, 2025, as "National Diaper Need Awareness Week" to highlight the widespread challenge of diaper affordability facing American families. According to the resolution, nearly half of families with young children struggle to afford an adequate supply of diapers, which can cost $80-$100 monthly and consume 14 percent of low-income families' after-tax income. This shortage has serious consequences, including parents missing an average of 5.1 work days per month because childcare programs require a steady diaper supply, and babies facing health risks like infections when diapers are insufficient. The resolution recognizes the work of over 300 diaper banks across all 50 states and territories that provide free diapers to struggling families, and it encourages Americans to support these charitable organizations through donations and volunteering. Since this is a House resolution rather than a law, it carries no funding or enforcement requirements—it serves purely to raise awareness and express congressional support for addressing diaper need as a public health and family economic issue.
