This bill proposes amendments to an existing law in Minnesota by modifying the diaper distribution program. It entails the establishment of a specialized diaper distribution grant program administered by the commissioner of children, youth, and families. The program will provide a sole-source grant specifically to the Diaper Bank of Minnesota. This grant will enable the Diaper Bank to supply diapers to under-resourced and low-income families across the state.

To qualify for this grant, the Diaper Bank of Minnesota is required to demonstrate various capabilities such as a statewide network for diaper distribution, efficient management of diaper procurement, engagement with national organizations, advocacy for diaper needs at various government levels, collaboration with diverse organizational ideologies, addressing diaper needs for children from birth through early childhood, and operating within an equity framework for cultural specificity and high poverty communities.

The bill also outlines that the Diaper Bank of Minnesota must use the awarded funds primarily for purchasing diapers and wipes, allowing a small fraction (up to 10%) to cover administrative expenses. Furthermore, the Diaper Bank is obligated to keep records of how the funds are spent, report to the commissioner on the usage of the funds, comply with additional requirements, and potentially submit to an independent audit as part of the reporting requirements.
