SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that California will provide hundreds of free diapers to each newborn leaving participating hospitals, supplying roughly 400 diapers per infant in the program’s first year. The state said the initial rollout will operate at about 65 to 75 hospitals and aims to assist families immediately at hospital discharge. The first-year sites handle about a quarter of statewide births and largely serve low-income patients, and the state partnered with nonprofit Baby2Baby to manufacture diapers under the 'Golden State Start' label. Officials noted $7.4 million was allocated last year and this year’s budget proposes an additional $12.5 million for implementation through the fiscal year ending June 2027, with broader expansion planned after the pilot.
