(Springfield, IL) — There’s a new plan that would have the state of Illinois buy diapers for some kids in daycare. New legislation would have the state buy 50 diapers per-month for kids in all-day daycare, and 25 diapers per-month for kids who go half days. Only kids who qualify for the state’s child care assistance program would get the diapers. Democratic supporters say the program will cost just six million-dollars per-year, while Republicans at the Capitol say it will cost much, much more.
