New York A11722 amends the public health law to mandate that hospitals providing maternity services must offer disposable diapers, wipes, and menstrual products to parents or guardians at the time of discharge. Additionally, hospitals must provide a one-week supply of infant formula at no cost. The acceptance or refusal of these supplies is voluntary. The bill clarifies that providing these items does not affect a hospital's eligibility for the department of health's breastfeeding friendly practice designation program.
