## Summary

This bill would create a **Military Family Diaper Fund** to get diapers and diapering supplies to military families in need. It pairs federal seed money with equal non‑Federal matching and limits recipients to long‑standing diaper banks near military installations. - Military families: More diapers and supplies through local diaper banks that serve areas within 20 miles of military installations. - Diaper banks and the National Diaper Bank Network: The Department of Defense would provide $1.0 million per year from 2027 through 2030 to the NDN Network to set up the fund. The NDN Network must match that federal contribution with non‑Federal funds or in‑kind gifts of equal or greater value and deposit them into the fund. - Use and oversight: Funds may be used only to provide diapers and supplies or for technical assistance and evaluation, and the NDN Network would submit an annual report to the Secretary of Defense on fund activities. *Would increase federal spending by about $4.0 million from 2027 through 2030.*
