Bill overview
The Newborns Essentials Support Toolkit Act (NEST Act) aims to improve newborn health and maternal well-being by establishing a program to provide newborn supply kits to new mothers. The bill modifies the Social Security Act to create a dedicated fund for purchasing and distributing these kits, which include essential items like diapers, wipes, and postpartum supplies. It also directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to partner with organizations serving underserved communities and to track the program’s impact on maternal and infant health outcomes.
